  4. Sweet and tender! What a wonderful father-daughter memory. I love the softness of the water, too. Please promise me you won't go canoeing when Gustav's around, though. Stay safe this week, Eric.

  22. Man, I really, really like your work. Seriously, no exaggeration. Everything you do is so consistently excellent.

    This is a great piece. I really like the water and the background -- the textures are perfect. Also, the gradients on the leaves and the vests add an extra autumnal punch. Excellent.
