Thank you both for the kind comments!

Taron, your positivity to everyone here is so refreshing compared to a lot of other corners of the internet nowadays! It's great how you pick up on those subtle details too, I can tell you really examine everything everyone posts here and gives them thoughtful consideration. I love when I stumble on places like these where the innate goodness of people abounds!
Hey zeropainter--thanks! If your dog was at all like this one I'm sure it was a tremendous companion with a huge heart. Dogs are so unique in their unconditional affection and loyalty toward people--sometimes I wonder if we deserve them.

Are you the same zeropainter that posts on the artrage forums? I used to lurk there a lot and have done a lot of customizing ArtRage to try to get the functionality that Verve already has. ArtRage is a cool program for sure and they've done great things with it, but I think once you learn Verve, ArtRage falls short with the oil painting... my opinion anyway
