Hi Bo, Horse, All:

Whoever may have influenced you as a painter they in turn can learn a lot 
from you. I have been overwhelmed by the beauty of your seascapes. They are 
truly magnificent. If there is ever to be an official painter for the MOQ, 
my vote would go to you.

Maybe someday Horse could add an MOQ site where paintings by MOQites
could be posted. If so yours would be marvelous visuals of Quality.  

Best,
Platt
