Hi Don,
Wow! This is a wonderful painting. Wish I had a better vocabulary to express why exactly, but it really doesn't matter as it's what one feels, not necessarily what one says.
I believe that, every time I see this, a different emotion would sweep over me.
I'll stop trying to be literary and end by saying, congratulations, great work.
Sincerely,
Gary.
You are a painters' painter Don. I mean that as a big compliment and hope you take it that way. Flying off into the unknown, don't we all dream of that.
Gary--your comments are so rewarding to me--thank you! Your Harry Kent portrait is amazing.
I can't imagine a higher compliment. Thank you Sheila--I'm most honored that you would say that.
I guess we're all flying off into the unknown...whether we want to or not! :)
I have to agree with Sheila. The versatility you display makes me think of Winton Marsallibutlis or Yo Yo Ma. Both great musicians equally at home with Jazz Improv and with the best of the classical repertoire. Why do I think you all share the same basic discipline...practice, practice, practice?
oops..looks like I typed the code word into Marsallis!!
What a beautiful compliment, Kaylyn--thank you! I really love your fresh take on still life painting.
I like this side of you Don. It makes me glad to be able to see the beauty in art that isn't the same genre as my work.
A very striking painting :)
Thanks for that, Mary. I've always been puzzled by those who seem to only like one type of art. It's a wide world of individual expression, and I love seeing all the variety.
Thanks a lot, Teague.
