Michael:Thanks for the nice comment a few weeks ago. Saw your work yesterday at the State Fair, and it reminded me to write. I enjoy seeing the work and can relate with a lot of the things you are working with. I want to pass your website on to a few friends of mine. Congratulations. Philip HalePS-I must have missed your show at Wilmington College. Did you work with Hal or Terry to put up this show?

Hi Michael, always a pleasure to come across a ccad artist and especially one with an appreciation of expressionism. Really enjoyed viewing your work..loved seeing something that gives me something to think about. I'll be checking out the 2 artists you mentioned, hope to see more of your work too.

The expresion and mystery in your paintings drives me to find a story and maybe the end in each one. I really like your work . You can create emotions when you look all the faces and the objects that leads your work.

A stunning collection. I have only begun to look it over, but my first impression is that your work expresses a stark--yet playful-- panoramic view of human nature. Is this a sort of retro style of art?? On the one hand, a critic could say that this work was already done 80 years ago, but what makes this work stand out in my view is that you have utilized the art form from an midwest-american perspective. The Ohio-ordinariness of the settings makes your message loud and clear!

Michael, I still find it a pleasure to view your work, the division of space and the dynamic of the figures across that space impressed me from the first. Your approach to the absurd stage set of human tragedy ,(a timeless subject),has a controlled dark humour, the kind that makes a strange sort of glee rise in the being. The Divine Comedy is still a favourite of mine. In the right mood, I can spend a lot of time looking at these works. In my opinion you’ve taken Baltus among others into the 80’s and 90’s and onward but maintained integrity;… its your work, it’s another time and another continent, the tone and colour is all stronger…the tone and colour of the new world, the rat race of western suburbia….and yet there’s still a charm and glimpse of optimism left over. It’s not an easy thing to achieve that balance.

Excellent artwork with a wonderful style and use of color. You have a very nice portfolio of work here on absolutearts.
