Hello folks, today has been very wonderful.  St. Patrick's Day.  As we speak I am putting the final touches to the obligatory corned beef dinner and am so looking forward to it.

I come from a pretty big family...3 brothers and one sister.  I have just asked them to comment on the works that they have bought over the years so I can boost up my profile and thereby gain your confidence.  Isn't that a bit tricky??? No, all artists have to blow their own horns or else, who would.  I mean without having to pay them of course.  So hopefully, I will soon have true opinions from work they have owned as far back as 1995.  In one case, 1981.  But they are not the only ones who have pieces of mine.  So I am embarking on a research of my own works, just to see what has been happening - who bought what and when...etc.
 An artist such as myself, just keeps plugging on forward, with sort of an absent state of mind as to what has happened to finished works.  But I shall know in the very near future and we will all be aware.  I look forward to this.  I know I have created more than 650 works and counting, so it will be interesting to go back in my files and contact the owners of many of them.  I will let you know the results.

Anyway, must get dinner....More later....
