Thanks Bo, I thought that I was writing off-list. Embarrassed myself again!!! I will try again, and send you the results. Privately. I'm sure it is hard to believe, but recognition is not what I want. You're thoughts on how I might improve my paintings, though, would be appreciated. My paintings are often done so quickly that I worry they are incomplete. But I like incomplete. I like the idea of the viewer filling in their own detail both visually and psychologically. But maybe I'm just lazy, or ignorant of what would make a better picture. My next painting will be a mother and child from the animal kingdom. Maybe a mother bear with her cub. I love 'mother and child' as a topic; the antics and expression of the animal interaction seems very honest and direct.

Do you have any hints how make a decent photograph of a oil > painting. It's tricky. Direct sunlight is destructive regarding colors - that's true If enough light indoor you may turn off the flash on your camera, but I prefer the fash because it makes the colors look most true. To avoid the refection spot I use a slight angle, this shows, but is not important for normal use. However, when your work is recognized there will be professional photographers coming from the galleries with all the proper equipment ;-).
