    This is so great. It may be drawn from life, but that is obviously just the starting point. Very creative work.

    At first I wasn't sure what I was looking at. I thought you had stepped off into paper sculpture and this was dimensional till I saw the turned page. This is beautiful Jean. I like the text. There's a lot of depth here.

    Thanks, Anthony.

    Absolutely. I say "drawn from Life," but it is just the starting point. Less reportage, more whimsy, riffing on what's there.

    Thanks, Linda.

    I'm glad this gave you a three-dimensional feeling.

    Thanks, Margaret.

    Me, too. I got a lot of mileage from the inexpensive children's markers.

    PA, credit where it's due. I didn't dream this up, some 19th century dude did.

    And it is beautiful from every angle.
