This makes me feel like I at least helped one person in my life and that I was appreciated, which is unusual for me.

Hi Derek, I recently purchased two of your books and wanted to just drop you a note to say thanks. I've been an admirer of Odd Nerdrum's paintings for years, so it's nice to be able to get a sense of how this incredible work is produced. You do a great job of explaining the process, and I'm looking forward to trying some of this out myself.
