Images by Esmeralde 


Rule #1: It's real simple.  I like graphics.  And I like making my own.  I include NightCafe images of mine for atmosphere, and in cases where I'd like to eventually replace it with one of my creations that doesn't have a portrait hanging right over the fire box.  
 
If you find the use of my NightCafe creations unacceptable and you'd like me to use something else, no problem!  Just send over your own creations with permission for me to use them included in your request, and be sure to send the version with your watermark already in place if you wish.  Also, how you'd like it displayed (within reason) and how you'd like it credited.  You can send that to MWPchronicles@outlook.com.
