Artist Reply: Thanks Don, I do appreciate it. I don't really utilize this group to "sell" my work, but it sure is easier than carrying a portfollio around if you need to share/show the past work. Yes... your work, good and eventually it will become great!! You must loosen up more, don't hold back- but go out and explode. Anyone whose put restrictions on adminstrating medium , apply balance, blah-blah-blah... ignore. Study the masters!! From the greeks to the impressionist. Do some pencil reproductions of your favorites... believe me it works. The other part isn't really the talent (which helps) but the real-raw-innocent-rage- passion. Good luck- rh
