So you have no idea how jubilant I was when I saw your encouragement yesterday.<BR/>I love "The Race" - it's more dynamic and even bolder than other works that I have seen so far.<BR/>Great touch! No wonder you have fans lined up to say something everyday. Do you show your paintings at any galleries around here? I live in Orange County and love to check it out if you do.<BR/>And good luck with your paintings for the fundraiser.Peter Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384129459052696705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852236594466075258.post-59570466153523245312009-04-11T08:58:00.000-07:002009-04-11T08:58:00.000-07:00Liz and Julie - Glad you like the sailboat.
