Marlene....you have talent! Tell the old man I want my job back! Been a good man for over 5 years! Either way, keep up the beautiful art.....you have been blessed with a talent that MANY cannot accomplish!
Artist Reply: Thanks Chris! Glad to hear you're doing so well. Keep it up. Gave him the message, but that's all I can do. ;-)
I didn't know about this! And I'm glad I decided to come and pay your gallery a visit! It's stunning. Such fun texture, too. I think your leap into colour is a fantabulous direction for your art... ~bethany
Artist Reply: Thanks Bethany! For the other two too. This is the one that gave me my "tennis elbow". :-(

Lance told me about your duck. Congratulations on all your awards this past weekend. Lance said the Mandarin Duck was similiar to a wood duck but I can see from the picture he was being modest. Your work is fantastic and again, congratulations.
