With your drawings you are telling the story of your life, Michael. Lovely drawings and interesting stories.

It couldn't have been a "pretty poor job", you've been married 48 years! lol If you mean your drawing Mick, it's a record and expression of a time in your life that means something special, worth while recording in my view.

There's something in this piece that speaks volumes through the expressions and the poses. It certainly tells a story, nothing poor about the job at all!

Thanks for kindness Seok.
