Corrine,
Yes, that is a beautiful one.

The family is doing well. Our elder son is slowly learning to live with his younger brother. They say the process of acclimatizing could take a couple of decades. Let’s see.

I'm kind of in awe of this painting. I'd never seen it before and I thought it was a photograph at first. Beautiful.

Adam and Tree,
Yes, this one is one of my favorites... You could see the detail if you click on the painting and the brushwork is simply stunning...
