Hi! I do not think there is anything in your posts to be apologetic for. I did enjoy them, as well as loved the chance to post that old Russian joke.

I am "luckier" than you are - it takes much less time for me to like my work again. It helps not to look at them for a month or so.... as well as show them to someone - it's their problem then.

Can you post something here? or at the gallery at
