Whoa! How cool to see you paint. I hadn't realized the steps you go through to make your paintings. The bold color and bold brush strokes are beautiful. I hope you take more photos so I can see how you've finished. Amazing!

Thanks so much Eldon,
I will take more photos when I work
on the painting a bit more. I find it

was unique. But I'll give it a try.
