Thank you for your comment earlier,......Hello John! Thank you for your comment earlier,...<br />but I truly wanted to say first of all this drawing is great, which is funny because you describe this as "not a good picture" that you took. I can only imagine how nice the original looks!<br /> <br />But I find your story interesting. I saw a video by another artist yesterday and she mentioned how she's so grateful for all the commissions she's getting recently, but she also has so much work now that she doesn't want to resent it and not have it be enjoyable anymore, and you're story reminded me of this... But anyway, I'm rambling..... the reason I bring this up is because I'm glad you leaving worked out BUT that now it's working out you coming back to it these years later! It's also cool to have your family supporting that, very fortunate. You can never really get away from drawing/art I guess, even if doodles, or professional or hobby!Karyna @ PaperSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013303783025477454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689850739713299454.post-64321976894605839392013-02-11T13:26:44.520-08:002013-02-11T13:26:44.520-08:00It was your ballet dancers that made me a fan of y...It was your ballet dancers that made me a fan of yours, Susan.

It just always comes across that you value history and know that in the beautiful ships and planes and buildings...there are connections to the people who designed and built them, used them, and loved them! It is a wonderful thing to share with us. :)Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689850739713299454.post-66085901136435804132013-02-07T11:58:20.970-08:002013-02-07T11:58:20.970-08:00Congratulations, John!!!
