In the midst of these voices, I received an email from Materese Roche who is a gifted artist from Bucks County who happened to fall in love with Truman . She purchased him and wrote me later. I am sharing a portion below.
"Truman is proudly hanging in my kitchen (away from the stove, etc.) he is stunning and I smile every time I look at him.
I hate pastel - both as a medium to work with and 99% of what I see - meh . . . I also really don’t like animal art. But YOUR work is in a league of it’s own. I don’t say that lightly nor am I giving false praise in any manner. You have a beautiful talent, and I will call you an artist - you are more than a painter - you have the gift. "
I think it is a good time to stop listening to the gremlins! I wonder how many of us doubt ourselves.
By the way, high quality giclees of Truman are available from North Penn Art

I must agree with Materese. The reason I subscribed to your blog is 'cuz I think/feel you are outstanding. You have made me very envious 'cuz I know I will never reach your Level. Only wish you posted a little more often. Sometimes I need a little extra encouragement. Happy Holidays, Sue
ReplyDeleteWow...thank you. I paint just about every day but fall behind on taking the photos. Have a joyous holiday!
ReplyDeleteGot to say I agree, I love your animals and instinctive color usage. It is a gift. Jealous of your loose work too.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice of you! Thank you once again, Nelvia!
