Jack L, Allen, Tim, Paul, Mike, Marc, Andy, Steven, Paul, Jim, Rick, Neil, Mick and Dave Thanks you all for your very generous comments.
I know it looks like I work fast but in reality sculpting is not a long process when things go right and I have been painting for longer than I care to remember, including giving courses, exhibiting and, sometimes, selling my canvases. All of you guys have many skills that I would never be good at, determination and a passion for the subject being two that we all share.
