3. You're an amazingly prolific painter

When I follow your link it always becomes a great trip to a one man museum show! There is so much to look at and study and appreciate and talk about! Over here are your nature and outdoors paintings and on that wall over there are your historic old time buildings. Then you have your vegetable and fruit studies full of texture and marvelous mouth watering colors standing out on a white background. Then there’s the wall dedicated to cameras with their juxtaposition with the floral backgrounds. And finally is your generous depiction of exotic flowers, painted like they’re portraits.

All your paintings have the bif touch. That something that people can look at and recognize as your style. And now you’ve added barns to your interests. You’re becoming more intimately in touch with the barns, perhaps a sign that you’re becoming familiar with them in the same way you have with your historical buildings. I love your depiction of the brightness, clean lines and simplicity of the Amish way of life.

Your Amish field is the essence of peace and serenity of a people who arrange their lives in line with quiet humble appreciation of their religious beliefs. There are no jarring lines in the depiction of the gently curving lines of the fields and the misty dreamlike shape of the trees and the soft grayish blue of the sky. It brought a sigh to my breathing.
