Selli,
It is my pleasure. Afterall the purpose of making art is to communicate
feelings, thoughts,
and observations with other people. Usually that is done through exhibitions in
buildings,
but I am different and I use the internet to reach a global audience. It means
all sorts of
unexpected things happen like being featured on the breakfast show at Splash FM.
It also
means I can find all sorts of interesting people such as yourselves.

Please tell all your friends about the painting and email them the link to the
website. BTW
you may enjoy having a look at another website dealing with another portrait
entry in the
Archibald Prize here:

Although as the subject was myself it is probably not as pretty a picture as
Leo's :-). I hope
you are having a wonderful day.
