Amazing to think how much you have accomplished in between your day job which also happens to involve a lot of travelling and time spent away from home.

For me, the works you produced for the nuns was just so right, so crisp yet so calming to look at. I wonder what's on your 'to do' list for 2012? Can't wait!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-6133398692970841542011-12-28T16:21:03.826+10:002011-12-28T16:21:03.826+10:00These are absolutely wonderful!

It seems most artists are either too proud or not proud enough - in any case, utterly lacking in objectivity about their own creations. You have found exactly the right balance in celebrating yourself!
