    Ken this is exquisite art. Exquisite. The lighting is magnificent .. and the black is inspired. Your intricate work with the hairs against the black was time consuming and tedious I know, but oh baby, did it ever pay off. Super, super. And as everyone has mentioned, the expression of resignation says volumes. It may not speak to us in words our ears can hear, but our hearts hear … and understand. A work of art.

    Thank you so much Lois. I think the real work of art here is your comment, you really know how to make someone’s day.
