For Tatiana

Tatiana, I know this image is flawed technically, primarily the "grain". I'm hoping you can disregard this. The woman was involved in dancing and I wanted to capture at least some of her movement. The image reminded me of your artistry; I dared not try to capture your style, since you don't have just one. - - My best, michael

Thank you so much Michael! I am glad to receive from you such an original expressive gift! This image reflects your brilliant ability to see and capture the moment, a fleeting sensation, impression, mood ... plus continuous experimentation. I really like this dynamic image! These legs are enough to feel the bright temperament of this dancing lady. Bravo! I am very grateful to you for your generous attention and support. I'm trying to learn from you. Sincerely, Tatiana

Tatiana, we clearly learn from each other. You have no idea how happy I am that you liked this image. - - My best, michael

Hi Michael, I'm here on one of my infrequent visits to my old haunts. I like this picture and I don't notice any flaws at all. t\The image is what it is and more powerful for it's feeling of gradual disintegration. Kind of reminds me of my own old legs laboring to bear the weight of too much good eating.

Jack, it's really good to see your presence on this site. I've been aware of your dissatisfaction for a quite while, and I hope you stick around for selfish reasons. I'm glad that you see value in this image; many thanks.
