I think your collection is inspirational and very collectable. I'm just waiting for something to tickle my fancy and then to ebay I shall go.

I am delighted to say that I am soon to be the owner of this fabuluous little painting - can't wait! :-)

I think Dan's work is excellent! Just wish I had more wall space :-)
