Hi Dan, Hope you are doing well. Thank you for reading my "stuff" and sharing here. I'm working in both oil and pastel, too. Wish I had more time to devote to the oils.... --------------------------------------- Hi Kim - Wondrous words, you have such a gift for conveyance! Great to know about your speedy recovery from what can be very painful surgery. I too am quite smitten by Tonalist works, I'm working with limited palettes and limited tones in oils and pastels. You mentioned some of my favorite artists in your newsletter. Congrats on your upcoming show in NYC! By continuing your outstanding work, you continue to inspire others. dp
