Thank you. Jacek, I'm not very good with digital communication and it is best to reach me at Same with everyone...I'd be happy to add anyone to my private mailing list (it's BCCed, so private) to receive images of each painting as I do it, along with a much fuller explanation that is possible here, of the subject (and technique).
