Vlad, From a fellow northerner in Calgary Canada, I hope the results of your incredible creativity lift your spirits. The results being not only the artwork, but the outpouring of affection. I wish you could see the delight on my own, but especially my children's faces when they see your artwork on my computer desktop. My son, a train fanatic asked to see your Christmas Train piece every day through the holidays on my iPhone and of the course "the real" picture on my desktop. Take care of yourself - take good long walks in that "fresh" Siberian air, and know our thoughts are with you when we look upon your work.

I've actually been to one of the small towns in the Northwest, Ketchum that is. Although small, the local area is home to many celebs such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Carole King, and more. Thanks for including a piece of the state of Idaho, USA.
