Best of shows to you Mimi! Your paintings are absolutely gorgeous!! I have finally put my studio together enough to begin some paintings. My hours on my regular job went from nightshift to dayshift and I had a few weeks of confusion, but now I am excited to be able to participate in a local society of artists and start getting my name and art out there. I am very proud of you and your accomplishments - you are an inspiration to me - keep up the awesome work!
