Beautiful work and intriguing story! I really like this style of your too.
Hello Susan, Forgive my boldness but I am doing a bit of blog surfing to invite people over to my blog to sign up for my giveaway I have going on. This isn't some kind of gimmick. It's just my way of celebrating two years of blogging. I am giving away a free caricature drawn by me. I'd be honored if you took the time to check it out.

This is so fantastic,I really like the contrast between his face and the hat!your style is great!
