Dec 3, 2008 - We have to survive financially to continue our work and sharing it, primarily it is so good to know that a viewer truly appreciated the work and values it for what it is. Unfortunately at times the only gauge we have is that they are prepared to pay?! Like you I have had wonderful, genuine, people look at my work and truly want it and I know they could not afford so have either given or let them have it at half price!

The genuine young man full of emotion over his lost brother must have made given you a mixture of joy and sadness in his reaction? Thankyou for sharing it all. Peter
