I did not realize that I touched so many people in this way. My family of course has told me and a few friends; however, to hear this much from strangers makes me realize how we are so connected by emotion in a painting. I have a new deeper respect for art and I have a new deeper feeling about my own paintings. I just had to go look at some of the paintings to make sure you were talking about them. And yes, I still get that emotional feeling just looking at them. Thank you for your comments, they really made my day. I love to read them. We cannot take art for granted.

You are very fortunate to have your talent and that it is connected to your spirituality in the way that it is. Being able to center you like it does and to touch so many others in such a positive way is a wonderful gift! You are very blessed. This connection that you have seems to also enable others to become more connected. It is so nice that you are able to facilitate that! Ruth,

It bypasses both the analytical filter if the rational mind, and the "white noise' of the large and small stresses and annoyances of daily life, to directly play the fundamental notes of the heart. In that immediacy lies its power.

Really, you are an artist. For a while I was thinking that someone is actually narrating me the whole story. really! spellbounding. It is the best way I have seen someone expressing his/her thoughts.
