Thank you all again.

If you start digging from one side Garth.........

I sure would be delighted to participate in your exhibitions because I think that there is a slightly different attitude to wards realistic portraits in the states than here in DK.

There are only a few other painters, that I know of, that paints traditional portraits at a decent level.

Mikael told me that one of them had a fine show in a gallery, but got a lousy critic telling that this was not real art.

But I really don

Allan,

Denmark is home to a vast number of first class paintings. I'm so happy to see you continue a great tradition.

I look forward to your website and I hope you move forward with it quickly. I look forward to downloading and sharing the pictures with my students.

I hope you post your paintings BIG - and with lots of close up details.

Bill

Thank you, Bill,

I always take your advises as best I can.

I will see if I can shoot my paintings in RAW format so that you can get decent study materials

Now tell me, you were just kidding, right?

Allan,

From what I can see, your works looks wonderful. You must be the only person in the entire nation of Denmark who is painting in a representational manner. I really look forward to seeing more.

I also hope the Art Police don't lock you up!

Bill

your vote of confidence means a lot to me.

Bill,
I may not be totally alone here in Denmark after all.

This Australian painter unveiled his painting of our RH Princess Mary, the coming Queen of Denmark. She is born in Tasmania and is very beautiful and popular around here.

I saw the painting on television tonight - but it

For those, like myself, that would like to see more of Allan's work ...

Here is a collaboration ... a scene from the Florida coast.

Allan and I also share the same birthday! November 12, 1963, I think it is. I wish he would share some of his talent for painting.
