Diane Richmond: Your paintings are just beautiful! So light and airy and they have a romantic feel to them. I first saw your painting on The Stroking Edge and found your picturetrail there. I just received my OSCI in Nov. 2008 and am starting a painting business. It was interesting to see how your painting has progressed over time. Kee painting!

Judy Hyman: Hi Connie! Now I can say the same about your work! Absolutely beautiful! I love your grapes and also the murals you've done. The one floral piece that won Grand prize is beautiful. Your entire picturetrail is just beautiful! You've been a very busy lady! I'm impressed!!!! Seems you and I have a few things in common, I also love to garden. I have many health challenges that cause me to be extremely careful but I'm still planting some things this year. Anyway, I just found your picturetrail address and wanted to stop by and see your work and was so impressed with it all! It's a very lovely trip to take down your picturetrail. Thank you for sharing your work. Hugs, Judy Hyman
