Hi Ray,

Yes I did indeed have the pleasure of meeting Zach, and a very nice Gentleman he is too.

He did buy both my St Michael slaying the dragon and the St George and the dragon. Unfortunately I could not let him have Prince Ivan and the Firebird, as it is one of my Wife's favorite piece's.

I am hoping at the next MFCA to have another firebird should he still wish to have one in his collection.

I am always honoured and humbled when someone appreciates my artwork, and I know it has gone to a good home.

Nicholas

Nicholas, I saw where you met a friend of mine Zach, He is a ravinous collector of all things beautiful and a most impressive collection of Toy Soldiers and figures mostly of the top Russian painting houses in his home. I have been preaching the 2-dimensional word for yours and He said he finally found something that turned his head?

Well as Arnie said.  " I'll be back ".  So here I am!! ;D ;D

Firstly I would like to say what a great time Gerry and I both had, and it was good to see what the MFCA was all about. Secondly, it was good to finally meet up with Mark and Patrick, along with other members.

The flats were well supported, with comments that there had never been so many flats on the tables in past shows. Very encouraging indeed. I put out 250 cards, and collected up 6 at the end!! Maybe like other shows in Europe, more and more flats will be seen with each up and coming show :)

I would like to Thank both Mark and Patrick for the warm welcome, along with the ' Hawaii Boys ' who took great care of us, whether you would trust them and let them out with your granny would be another matter, but for us, we fitted in well. A good laugh all round. Thanks Gentlemen.

I would especially like to thank Kevin and Greg who squeezed us into their cars to take us up to New York and along with Penny, who looked after us for the first couple of days. Then they unwisely let us loose on our own !!! ;D ;D ;D

A full report of the show will be in an upcoming Journal.

Below is a photo of us with ' the Hawaii Boys '

And who might these fine gentlemen be? I think I recognize Nick on the right behind the lead figure. Maybe not, tho'...
