Hey Michael, I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the CD you recommended to me, I lost track of the note to myself and can't find your original message. Thanks. Oh, and I love you profile pic. Nice job on the flowers as well, the lilies are my favorite. ~Marianne

Ah yes! the Matrix really paid homage to Chinese/Japanese martial arts. I checked the website, and it's nice and inexpensive which means I'll be getting a katana soon :) I like your horror section, the horror clown really kicks ass!

Hi Laurez. Thank you for your comments. You have some very fine pieces too. I do like your approach to portraiture. It appeals very much.

laurez

Hi Michael, I find your art very illusionistic, exciting and alluring, eceptionally jealous, Laurez.

Hi! Listen, I have about 6 months to prepare for my first solo show, and I was hoping you could assist me. I will need to have at least 30 paintings to display. If you could, with as much honesty as possible, please name 2 of my completed pieces that you feel I should definitely show. Also, please share 3 things with me, based on my current work, (remember be honest), that you would recommend to me for improving my art in general. I am fine if you post this on my public board because it may be interesting to others. The feedback from other artist on this website is very valuable to me. Thanks! ~Marianne

Hi Michael, thanks for the note and the feedback. Yup, you pretty much have me pegged. I guess I am in my art. It is nice that this site is available to us for us to show ourselves as we truly are, or at least hope to be. Oh yes, and you mentioned that you were also a fan of Pink Floyd. I actually do not listen to Floyd too much these days, but still love hearing it whenever I do. Last year the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra put on a Pink Floyd concert and light show. It was great. In addition to the classical instruments that were accompanied by an electric violin, it was brilliant. Anyway, thanks again for checking out my work. ~Marianne
