What a lively painting!
But,gradually... A full-frontal tiny face in marble appeared through the dense hedgerow... Enigmatic,Hellenistic face,on the middle-right of the hedge,below the house.He observed the world;impassively. And the only dark window of the "Cyclops-house" added to the mystery of an apparent light-hearted scene.

While I don't have the time or resources to bid on your art, I truly enjoy seeing your work in my inbox. Your most recent posts have uplifted my spirits because you sent so many dark images over the last several months that I feared your illness had turned your artistic vision from optimistic to dismal. I am glad to see your brighter colors return. It's not that I am unaware that the world is grim or think that artists should not depict that, but if one's talent is showing beauty to others on a regular basis, which everyone needs, it's sad to see that vision diminished by illness. So, I am delighted by your apparent rise from the depths. Of course, I could be totally wrong and the change is purely due to nature's seasons.

I absolultely love your technique and ability to single out the thing that tells the story so well. thank you for your talent and for sharing it so willingly. If I can sell a few more paindtings, I hope to earn enough to bid on one of yours.

exactly my thoughts... every night over last autumn and winter looking at the "daily picture" I have moaned and complained to my husband about the "darkness" in the pictures and at some stage even thought it was my computer's fault. So now I am very delighted to see more colours and light and feel as if a weight has been lifted from the painting.
