[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 8661, member: 103"]All legitimate art critics, please go away for a moment. (Bev - begone with thee!) However untutored the renditions on those canvases, taken as a group, they reflect a most interesting personality. Someone who is aware of heaven and hell as they appear in everyday life, but someone who recognizes all the nuances which allow him to live with joy, and to want to give joy to others. I hope that the majority of the recipients of his paintings are able to appreciate them as he meant. From light to dark, and everything in between. The picture of the concentration camp prisoner jolted me out of a rather cursory viewing of that site. So I went back and looked again...and again. Would I hang these in my home? If I had a pair, yes. (And this from someone who hates those sunflowers, and whose favorite portraitist is Sir Joshua Reynolds!)[/QUOTE]
