    Amazing resemblance. Even the signatures look alike. Like father, like son. Nice work.

    I cannot decide which one I like best … I really love them both. However, I like things in three …. so you have the edge. This is one of my fav pieces, KJ.. I just keep looking at it and I feel a story … Hard to explain.
