That is very nice! Please post your process when you have time.
Your St. Pats day sounds about right for me - I'm from German
ancestry - not Irish, even though I have/had red hair, fair skin and
freckles. I was tired and went to bed last night at 10:30p - slept
all night and late this morning. That is why I never have any
graphics to post. :))

Insomnia agrees with you Jeanmarie.
The images in your gallery are well suited to more 'insomnia' painting :-))

Wow, this is stunning, JP. I actually prefer this one over the
photograph.

My St. Patty's day was boring too, if it makes you feel any
better. I didn't go out, then again, I didn't care and was glad
to be at home, relaxing, and not worrying about all the drunks
on the road. ;-)
