In other news, one of my most popular paintings "Orchids" has been featured as a 5 meter long mural at "The Circus" nightclub in Helsinki, Finland. Interior Designer Petra-Miisa Juusenaho has done a smashing job with the club, you can visit the website at: www.thecircus.fi and make sure to visit Petra's site as well.
I have been selected to be published in the next edition of "The Best of Worldwide Book Competition" which will be a hardcover book on sale throughout the USA and available online as well.
