3. I think it's great that you're putting your artwork out there!

But it isn’t just your art that you’re putting out there. It’s your keen sense of appreciation and knowledge of your subjects which is what makes it all so much better. I hope many people are touched as profoundly as I’ve been by your work. It will be immeasurably richer with your blurbs and observations. You write well too, on top of being an artist.

You can actually do more than one book since you have more than one subject passion. From the beginning I’ve felt that your paintings of buildings and places illustrative of a time from the past should be in a collection in a local museum, but perhaps a book format is better. You also have your collection of hiking paintings taken from your walks on the trails at all times of the year in which you paint the natural architecture of the woods with all the different textures they impart. And if that wasn’t enough you have your still lives of flowers and vegetables and surfaces and kitchen utensils, with your depictions of light reflections. It seems to me that each is an exploration of what makes them work. And throughout, the element that pulls them all together is your amazing rendering of color and your sharp eye for details and your faithfulness to the integrity of the entire canvas and scene you’re working on.

I wish you true success in any endeavor. I will love whatever you do!

Unfortunately I have no useful advice for how to put your work to best viewing advantage. It’s been decades since I made any effort with my work. All pre-digital age.
