Oooh, gorgeous! I simply love maps. What lovely work. The colors are just perfect, too, love it! :) Congrats on the successful show! It must feel nice to have people affirm your art with their purchases. My partner just sold his first painting at a gallery for $500! He's been painting for the past 10 years with not a lot of shows, but nice to know people out there can appreciate his art. 03/01/2012 10:22pm
