Interesting observations as Venice is about 2 years newer and after she had changed over to a new agency.  At first she didn't like the new lead agent because he was really "pushing" her but it began to show in her work and she is quite happy now.  Venice was painted about 4-6 months after she had switched and one of the first tours she made with that group was thru 5 European cities and then back thru Odessa on the way home to Moscow.  Venice was painted as part of that trip, and she won a couple of awards in Spain during that time.

The park is part of the Patriarch's Pond in Moscow.

These were painted on the same trip.  At first she didn't understand why the new agent wanted her to paint without faces shown (she based them on a live performance), adding detail.  But in looking at the end result I think he was pushing her to capture emotion and energy without relying on the traditional way of looking at a subject.  At least that was my take--after she gave me hers!   ;)

I'm pretty sure my wife used the service in Miami for her evaluation of her high school records.  Once those wre completed, she enrolled in our community college and then got her 4 year degree.

They are pretty accurate.

Hey Chris,
Glad to see another Floridian here  :D
Recently (within the past 2 months) we had Liliya's credentials re-evaluated. This time we used ECE instead of Silney in Miami (they are both members of NACES.org).
When Silney had done the original evaluation 5 years ago, there were several courses they discounted and as a result she fell just 2 or 3 credit hours short of a Master's of Science equivalency. Over the years we'd heard anecdotal evidence that Silney consistently evaluated lower than other services, and so we tried a different company this time. The day before Christmas Eve, we got the results from ECE. Liliya was awarded a Master of Science in Astrophysics PLUS a Bachelor's of Science in secondary education, from the EXACT SAME documents that Silney used 5 years ago.

The reason for the new evaluation was because she wanted to recapture her Master's status, but the admissions department at FAU would not accept the old Eval. as it was out of date (they expire after 2 years) so now she's entertaining thoughts of going for her Doctorate in the fall as it no longer seems out of reach.
Every action in company ought to be done with some sign of respect to those that are present. ~ Geo. Washington
