you're a genius my friend.

Hi, not sure if you remember me, Duncan, friend of Hannah's, bought some prints off you. You sent them before the payment even cleared. Very trusting. I have a print of this painting in my front room (not sure what that is in US speak, but the main room). Wonderful to see you painting it. Used to paint and love your technique. Wish I was a bit nearer to where you are would love to look at some of your artwork in the flesh. If you are ever over in England let me know. Much respect.

wow. I´m inspired!

2 people didn't remember rooms have teeth, the sun is on fire, they can't breath under water, and that painting is dangerous (my favorite line :) )

Such an awe inspiring hybrid of creativity, intelligence, spirituality and other assorted subdivisions of amazing. I can't tell if I'm more impressed by the art or the wisdom, glad I didn't have to choose, thank you.
