Oh, forgot to say; your self-portrait looks a lot like the water colors you did of your boys. Very strong family resemblance. genetics in the face and in the fingers.

Your self portrait with the birds is breath taking. I would absolutely love to have a copy to frame. Are you by any chance selling this ?

Thank you for your blog- I love it

Gorgeous! I never knew you had such pretty blue eyes. I love the birds of course. I lived in Montreal for 18 years and sadly did not know of St. Armand. I will be getting their paper soon though :)
