Rickie, Since the purchase of Ballerina, I have had many favorable coments on this work of art. I have passed out your cards in hope to prompt more sales for you. We enjoy the painting. It is displayed on my wall going up to my second floor so everyone can enjoy it. When you helped out at CWM PTA Carnival, I enjoyed listening to the children and your dicussion with them on Art. Thank you again for your input for the youth and helping them to think out of the box in regards to Art.

LaMignon
So enthused to get following in..that I hit one of those buttons on the computer too hard..and it took off faster than I can type....'Happy Birthday..and Your feelings..per description..show!!! Your core magic is working for You fabulous!! 'Into The Woods'...every tiume-- every time! the mystique lures towards new discoveries in this excellent work.'Stroke'-- hits! Still - very direct, good painting.. 'Anubis'--amazes me..!! The colors.. taste...and the feel of the darkness ..makes me linger..amongst the jewels of color hues.. 'The Soul Is Willing'--The slashes...HAD to be so. Of course 'Mad Woman' - will probably always be- up on top of my favourites.. The intensity..saturation of paints..loose..yet touch of Your 'artistic control' ..So will (top with my so many favourites. ) 'Stand Back'....'Core' absolutely beautiful color choices!!... Until next time..I mean, the sign in..I check quite often Your art collection and resist my exhuberant urgeto write..how great Your work makes me feel.Best to You, Rickie.

03/18/2007 Re. 'Beauty'- Photography. Rickie, this is a photo to be treasured.. The mood is intimate, private- yet do not feel like 'intruding' , when I view..shows the lovely face - smile.. expression caught sensitive- core touching, besides the 'eye'.. the light on her face.. beautiful photo.

T. Smith
Wow, you have quite a range! I really loved 'Garden', I think it is magical. The handbuilt ceramics are wonderful and very amusing. Also a favorite...'Bad Dog'!

Great meeting you tonight Rickie...stay in touch! Stephen

Alana Carson
I came, I saw, I'm STAGGERED. Note I didn't say 'surprised', but I will admit to being thoroughly delighted! Depth, passion, spirit, ethereal-ness (is that a word?), strength, openness, spirituality, empathy, humor, inquisitiveness, it's all there, and so expertly executed. I always wished I could sculpt, I'm so jealous. I paint as well, since I first discovered I could hold a brush, but my problem is too many passions and not enough time to thoroughly indulge them all. I salute you, fellow Long Beach native, we must chat some time when I'm not in the office; I fear we have many of the same notes...

Nicole
Hello, I'm Jeremiah's mom from the kids baseball team, Arlington Diamondbacks.Kevin got your card from you at the game and told me to go on and look, he will be on here looking when he gets a chance also. Your painting are beautiful and I love how different they all are. I have a lot more to look at, I haven't been through the whole sight yet, but I'll get there. Thank you!

Hello Rickie, excellent piece of thought, core, and talent. Love the new painting you shared with the world today. Leo

luise andersen
Greetings, Rickie- Like!! 'Give And Take..' to me, raw expression of fear..anger..passion..the glorifying rise of vision- from betrayal,thrust into 'hell' to almost angelic personification.. ..yearn for truth,peace,light,beauty...trust.. in between almost 'attacks' by visions and feel of the absolute deep and dark..almost condemned.. see through it all the 'hope'..tomorrows.Cleared..purified by intense fire of suffering ?..hmmm.. But..that is just me.. is the core of the painting, which holds me in thought..imagination..the persistence kind of ..above all evil.. mind or experienced..is reach of calming.. Also like!! very much Evil Eye.. symbolism in spontaneous expressions is direct.. unforgiving in places..by others or of self.. or for others.. depends, ..where my eyes begin..at which expression of image..form..or colors!!..Compositions in both art pieces very 'striking'.. My very Best. Glad to get updates again..did not for a while.but then..I have no computer ..and will catch up soon as I can. Figured this one out..Until then.. Luise.

Jai Khalsa
Your work is absolutely exceptional. Thank you for sharing it. I have too many favorites to list here (only 200 words allowed...), but 'Beneath The Surface' and 'Broken Window' are right up at the top. It was fabulous to listen to you talk about your process at the AHA event a few weeks ago; it's inspiring to hear about how and why you do what you do. You rock, Rickie. xo

JimBo Seiling II
