Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Interesting tangent line by the mouth,cool. Love your blog.
WOW, how she's grown!
The edge lighting on this beautifully expressive horse sent me to my bookshelf to check. It reminded me of the lighting on the small dinosaur, front cover, of your book, "Colour and Light".
An excellent reference resource, as is your Blog. A continuous source of delight.
Many thanks for your generosity of spirit in sharing so much.
Happy thanksgiving to you and yours.
