Garry, I viewed you lastest update with interest. The way Lincoln and his son's head are, well, to me, looking like they come out of the wood. Your undercutting of the heads is fantastic. The sternest of Lincoln reading to his son is priceless. The son looking so intent in to what his father is saying or reading, is just super.

Yes Garry, Goody is right as well as others in their replies to you, You give the portrait life and really, Take Goody up on his suggestion of a Civil War scene.

Fabulous work Garry.

Thanks Kenny and Sue,

I thought I would give an update , as I will not have time to work on it today.

Susan,
I tried to think of what would bring the shadows out even more and still really highlight I think I found it.

Hope you all think so as well .
