I capture a stream of consciousness from your blog, perhaps reflected in your work. I only know it would be such a blessing for everyone to be able to view your paintings daily and indulge in the beauty and reflection of love of life and the joys of freedom we experience in our country seen through your exciting, moving, art.

I love your paintings and they do communicate strength of spirit in the purist sense. I think it is telling that your work resonates with young people the most because they are not yet jaded by adulthood and know beauty and purity when they see it, which makes sense because they are living manifestations of beauty and purity. I understand your implication that lots of art these days brings people down rather than lifts them up. I’m not talking about art that communicates a message or brings awareness to an important issue that people might not find pleasant because I think art is meant to communicate ideas and feelings, but art that is negative for negativity’s sake or just for the sake of being “cutting edge and ironic” is not cool and I find it pretentious and dull. I feel the same about music. When I listen to music I want to feel happy so I choose music that makes me happy, but there sure is a lot of music out there that could have the opposite effect if I happened to be a person of lesser taste. The same goes for art. If I’m going to hang a work of art in my house, I would want it to be something that lifts my spirits like your beautiful horses. I can attest to the fact that your original art work, “Double Trouble,” that hangs in our dining room lifts my spirits every day and gives me a sense of freedom when I look at it.
