For just starting to paint at 50, your work is sophisicated right down to the borders in your frames that compliment the work. Keep on painting!

I enjoyed viewing your art work, & the titles of your paintings were most interesting & creative! Your personal biography was very uplifting...I'm inspired to start painting again at my age of 60 years! We self-taught artists paint & live with true emotion...I like your art work & your reason for being a painter! I thank you for the words & wonderful art you have shared on this web site. You will always be one of my art friends! You represent what art should be...Truth & Emotion! Thanks again; adios...my art friend!
