Hi Maurie, I love your work and you inspired me to upgrade my version of Painter. Is that a Wacom "draw-on" screen tablet I see on your website? Very Cool!

Really nice work you have here and on your website. The line and brushwork in your pieces is both simple and energizing.
Inspiring stuff

Your work is wonderful! I really enjoy your books. We live in NH as well, ..no phones ... flooded family room, roads closed.... with a little opening at one end of our street. Hopefully Maryann will be freed up soon! I can't draw today... too sore from all that bucket hauling.
