  You do these so well, but Bonnie may be onto something--this one is even more remarkable, I think, than your usual exceptional portraits.

  This is a wonderful portrait Mary Beth. Congratulations on the very well deserved Finalist. This is worthy of hanging. I bet it would look great printed on Canvas.
