Dear Sally,
The range and quality of your artwork is a perfect metaphor for the depth of culture that exists within the Nation's Capital. The capturing of everyday life is not difficult, but presenting it in a way which speaks to the society you're exhibiting is a gift- I believe your artwork does just that.
Thank you for letting me into your studio, for teaching me some of the techniques behind your artwork, and for presenting this season's cover with an original piece of our own.
I hope your upcoming exhibitions are fruitful, and your sketchbooks continue to fill.
To many more successes,
Henry
