I too think there are times when painting pulls so much emotion from one that it wears them out and then it becomes a struggle to pace themselves or even leave them with any strength to try to express anything within the confines of the 2 dimensional plane. Indeed sometimes it is so painful it makes one think they should just quit. Then there comes those times when things move so quickly that it makes your heart sing and the brush fly...I wish there were more times singing then tears..but I know with a true artist heart I will continue to paint no matter what comes my way.<br /><br />In the painting above..I feel the breath of that bison on that cold morning and making a viewer feel is worthy of calling any painting a masterpiece.pakchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289868233664956325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474076260674398374.post-63640343134372951952009-12-06T20:19:27.063-05:002009-12-06T20:19:27.063-05:00Thank you Mike and Ron, for your kind comments on ...Thank you Mike and Ron, for your kind comments on today's blog.

He has the dough to prove his point or that his system works for him. I find painting almost joyful and if its work, its very pleasant compared to humping concrete which I know about.Ron Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787006578615434837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474076260674398374.post-51456219662597192422009-12-06T12:01:55.748-05:002009-12-06T12:01:55.748-05:00Mr. Fredricks . . . .and I feel I must call you &q...Mr. Fredricks . . . .and I feel I must call you "Mister" as you deserve the dignity.<br /><br />Bateman's comment here I found to be very moving. Having seen in person the painting behind him in the photo helped in that feeling. One can indeed feel his passion as one stands before his work. His words ring true!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by my blog and visiting with such positive comments. I am, frankly, flattered.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589916820019735485noreply@blogger.com
