By the way, I will soon be sending you photos from the museum we visited out your way … I know it's been a while … but they'll get to you in a week or so.

I'll probably send them via e-mail.

Trying to send one now via your personal e-mail … give it a minute or two.

Just sent two pictures; let me know if they are o.k. .

I'm experimenting with several techniques and I'm hoping they will work together in the way that this one seems to have worked; butterflies and possibly flowers … maybe even birds will work.

Great application of technique. I have no reasonably applicable photos of butterflies or birds, but I could do some interesting things with flowers.

Now that you've posted a new article with flowers, I guess these were put on the wrong article.

The first one is superb, but the second is an absolutely fantastic work of art.

Those butterflies look like they belong in a fairytale. Just beautiful and dreamlike.
