(Happy Birthday, Deb! Or was it yesterday??)
When I was a child, my sisters and I had to say “May I be excused?” before leaving the dinner table. This was to signal many things: we were finished eating; to give our parents an opportunity to review our plates; to teach us how to be civilized; to consider other people; to become accustomed to decent manners.
So, now I say to my customer, “Please may I be excused?” This is because I believe the oil painting is finished, because I am civilized, and because I am never finished until the customer is happy!

I screamed with delight when I saw my birthday wish on your blog on top of the most amazing, beautiful painting of the bridge! So fun to see the progression and the finished product! Truly a masterpiece, Jana! I am getting caught up on your blogs (up to today from 11-15…) Looking forward to more times of peace and quiet and your blog in the next week! Merry Christmas, Jana!
Love you, your humor and your incredible talent!
And I love being in contact with you, Debbie!!
Thanks, Melissa! She is quite pleased, but the painting is still drying on my fireplace mantle rather than gracing her home. The bridge is (was?) definitely The Place for gatherings.
The painting looks great! I am sure your customer will be thrilled to have such a great painting of part of our lives in Mineral King, gathering around the bridge for chit chat. Hugs!!
