Oprah999, I've noticed your one-dimensional, childish rants all over the web. Your comments, masquerading as a critique of art, are really just a very transparent attempt to hide your personal animosity. The unsophisticated and one-dimensional nature of your attack, lingers in stark contrast to the multi-dimensional and deeply spiritual renderings that represent Mr. Hart's vast body of work. You expose yourself as an individual with an agenda. You are completely without credibility.
