No one can imagine what it is like to watch life evolve in a canvas with oils unless you have seen it happen. Also, when people see a portrait, they sometimes just see a person staring back. They don’t notice the art, the technique. once in a while, an artist or an especially perceptive and spiritual person will be stirred to the core by the light and life I strive for while painting. That happened today when a friend saw the collection of my work at Loretto. Her response and kindness took my breath away. She gave me a gift and I so appreciate her sentiments. This painting of my grand daughter is just now reaching this point. I can just about see her turn and speak to me. Hallelu Yah!!!
