There’s nothing like going from commissions (doing what others want!!) to doing everything you want. Congratulations Emily on taking off!!

Rita, thank you so much! You have taught me so much. It is wonderful to go from the traditional commissions to doing what ever the heck I want.

I was very surprised this morning when I learned that one of my paintings was selected for your Top ten for March.
I love how you are so thoughtful in your wording in describing each piece and how a painting makes you feel.
Thank you for including “Autumn Symphony ” it was a joy to paint. It was inspired by our trip to Yosemite . The Aspens took my breath away.
So, thank you again, it was wonderful reading your thoughts on this painting.
Maureen
