This Is Me But Better

You're very kind! Thank you, Clara:>)

Hi, Lucinda:>) I fear this beautiful comment slipped by me, but, it is now caught and receiving it's due! I'm just awed that Sharon made me look so good - she is a master, isn't she! Thank you for the visit and kind words!

She is amazing:>)

Thank you! Since you know what I look like in "real life", you can judge how good Sharon is at her job:>) Her job, by-the-by was to make me look like a forest gnome - how'd she do? LOL

Thanks, Val! Sharon can reverse aging:>) Forget the vitamins:>)

Well, dear girl, you have a silver tongue (or silver fingers, perhaps,for typing). I love to see what people feel about the portrait. I am so indebted to Sharon for this gift beyond measure:>). You. too, have an immeasurable talent!!! Thank you for coming by and writing this tome - Sharon deserves such praise for besting this challenge - LOL:>)

Thanks, Bob. I don't "do" pictures but Sharon was relentless (what a harpy) and I trusted her implicitly, so I took a picture through the laptop - egad! Awful! - but Sharon made it okay - LOL. Thank you for your gentlemanly ways and for your VFT!

Thanks, Eti! As I said below, Sharon is blind but what better artist to paint me than one who cannot see the many imperfections - LOL. Thank you for the lovely comment and the V/F - all are deeply appreciated.

With all the ego-boosting comments here I may not ever recover and do dishes again! This is a gentle and generous comment, Alfred, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart:>)

How generous, Donna - and of course we know Sharon is a fantastic and talented painter. Thank you for the V/F, and I know Sharon will be peering in from the sidelines to see how folks like her work - as if they could ever NOT love her work!

Well, Jolanta, from one beauty to another, ain't we got fun! Sharon is always up to something and it is generally something we are delighted to see when it's done! Like all true artists (and you should know) she is driven. Thanks for all the support for her work - it is a lovely portrait.

Tyler, you are a gentleman and a scholar:>) I don't allow photos at all, not ever, so you may infer how much I trust Sharon to give her an image to copy! Thanks for the wonderful comment and the V/F!!!

You're so lovely to say so, Lenore - many, many thanks! I do need to give Sharon all the credit:>)

We all know you're blind
