This one feels good to me...

His wife is a ceramic artist, and we included one of her pieces.

Oh Tom... what a beautifully orchestrated painting, such lovely subtle grays... and those desaturated red stripes to punch up the composition. And then there is the thoughtful and kind face, always a touchstone in your work.

I learn so much from your paintings, which are always sensitively rendered and intelligently planned. You are also one of the hardest working artists I know and you hit an awful lot of home runs.

Tom,

Beautifully done as always! What else is there possibly to add, that Linda has not already mentioned?!

Dear Tom,

I couldn't agree more! Beautifully composed in every regard, and exquisitely executed.

Thank you so much everyone....these comments are energizing, and I'll keep them close by for when things aren't going so well in the studio.

As to working hard, I'll repeat this anecdote: I'll never forget witnessing Burt Silverman turn around during a PSOA demo and saying, "I was working the other day in the studio, and it occured to me, 'You know, I've really got to get better!'"

Best--TE

Tom, this is absolutely so elegant and balanced.
The openness of the posture and the friendliness of the expression make an immediate connection with the viewer.
Thank you for showing us
Ilaria
