Hey Patrick, It has been amazing watching the progress as you and Patrick Greene painted through the days of March. I thought of you often being out in the elements for the Love of Art and it still amazes me on your coping methods. Whether it be cold rain falling on the canvas or snow whiffing across your face, you took stance at your unsheltered area. Must have been mind over matter to have conquered March's well know calm to cruel weather. Congrats on this accomplishment. Marlita
