Thanks...those compliments mean a lot coming from someone with your obvious talent and skill!!

I have found that one of the most difficult parts of painting the small details (like those names and numbers) is keeping the paint at the correct amount and consistency. I try to keep just the right amount on the brush, but it seems to dry very quickly.

The two other things I need to do are get a magnifier/viewer and improve my lighting situation. I paint in my office, usually later at night...and sometimes it's like I am in a cave! The desk lamp I use is not bad but with my current set-up, I have too many shadows.
