So lucked out to have photographer, Steve Noroian able to take this picture for me. As you can see, the colors are true and the quality is improved greatly. Thank you so much, Steve.

Oh my, this is so beautiful. I’d managed to loose the link to your blog in moving things over to the new computer so I’m so pleased that it has come up on a search again.
I’ve read back over all the posts and am just blown away by the work you have put into this and how fabulous it look. The colours are just sublime. Love it.
I hope the exhibition goes well and you all have fun.
