Thanks, Jackie, for your kind words about my drypoint.  It's actually one of my favorite pieces, and I've never known quite why it appeals to me.  I don't think it appeals to too many others, but the fact that you like it tells me that I may be starting to break out of the narrative "illustrator" mode that has defined my work.  What is a process painter?  I liek your stuff, so I'd really like to know.
