Great visual!!!.with lot of sweet memories stored!!!!!..God Bless You!!! Hi Michael!!!

The boldness and subtle reds and blues add a quality of shimmering life to the portraits that I haven't seen before. :) Thanks Peggi,

When she pointed readers to your blog to look at the red balloon challenge, it was another great suprise. Your work is so original and I thought the balloon depiction was a clever solution. Very nice. I'll be back. Hi Michael,

The back burner's at least been lit in me today. I agree with that… it’s refreshing to hear, and as a start, am devoting more thought and patient discussion to it in my life.

Our view is that acrimony and partisanship do not serve to advance the interests of the citizenry. Plain and simple. We need to start coming up with some solutions, and implement them.

I had a very different idea of what I wanted the drawing to look like at the outset, but enjoy the spontaneity of following unplanned routes through art... learning to be flexible with expectations. The parallels to the way my brain works abstractly outside of art is also true... however it was an unappreciated nuisance to most people (and myself) before I 'grew up'. In particular with school and business sense. It's helpful for me to hear your reminder that it's a gift to be appreciated. Thanks for your encouragement! :) Hi tashabud,

It's neat that you mentioned the ribbons of reality. I've been thinking about that a lot lately since watching some <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/brian_greene_on_string_theory.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TED talks on string theory</a>. Fascinating stuff! Hi Eric,

There' s really no defined features or lines to guide you. Even though I'm not much into abstract art because of my nature that likes clear definitions in everything I see, I still greatly admire your Blue and Red Balloon piece. It is beautiful and unique. To be an abstractionist, I would imagine you have to think and see things in abstract ways also. That alone is a great talent to have.
