ah.. kinds words

Steve Augarde - who if I had a site address for, I would link to - made my day after looking at my paintings:

Hi Mark - What a neat site - and I love your paintings! The flying man I especially like - and I'm glad I didn't see it before trying to produce an image of a winged creature for the cover of The Various. I would gave nicked it. I have another painter friend, Nell Nile, who also produces these very joyous dream-like things and I'm always envious of those who seem to be able to let go in this way. I'm far too uptight and hung up on technique to be like that. Great stuff.

Hopefully he won't mind me using his words and blowing my own trumpet - praise a professional and highly-skilled artist doesn’t happen every day.
Thanks Steve :)
