Great sentiment, Jim. I love Windsor McKay. Many thanks for the effort you put into this blog. It is a constant source of inspiration.
Sometimes words alone cannot communicate as effectively. Thank you Jim for being a hero: not because you wanted to but just because that's what you are to us.
Thank you for your New Year wishes. I have just finished reading "Color and Light", the most helpful book on art I've ever read. Terribly glad I discovered you, it and your blog.
Happy New Year! Thank you for all the work you do to bring us such great, informative posts! May 2015 be a year filled with hope and happiness!
