Every day in every way I am getting better... Every day in every way I am getting better and better - dammit!!! Love this pic Michael - it's penetrating - really :0)
Artist Reply: Chas, I wish you lived next door to me, lots of fresh ground caffeiene first thing. Lord have mercy the words and ideas would fly like meteors. You are the genius and quite the clever chap, my favorite attributes in a buddy. Thanks for the tap on the plants, Your are very kind. I am a small tater compared to you. Gracias, Miguel
I love this one! The mix of colors of the blants are beautiful! Here's to obsessions that are productive, not destructive! Me thinks the complainer is more than a tad jealous! You are one with color and nature, and life will in time reward you. If there is the someone special out there for you, she will probably be drawn by your art, and it will obsess her as well. My art is an obsession for me. I should know, I have OCD (Obessive, Compulsive Disorder.) I fight it with art, which helps to tame it. Art is the one obsessive trait I want to never lose.
Artist Reply: Terry, you are doing the right thing using the art, it focuses and you are giving yourself over to it, the OCD when you make these beautiful pieces. You are using the bits of that disruption that distract you when not busy. Perfect way to treat it. I just want you to be healthy, happy and holy. All my love to your family and especially you. The happiness you spread about has reached me and it will always be in my heart. My ultimate gratitude. Michael
beautiful colours in this great photo, Michael!
and what are obsessions, we all have I think in the eyes of the other...BE HAPPY!!!
Artist Reply: Nelly, my dear one, it is an interesting phenomena when those that have nothing to do tell you that you may be doing something too much that makes you ecstatic. A type of a conundrum. I will stick to what I do that makes me in a heightened state of bliss, talking to you right now gives me great pleasure, I am painting in the middle of the night, more pleasure, I am listening to beautiful love songs, more bliss. I have flowers all over my studio that I grew, this is why I was put here to love and be loved. I think you are right, be happy....I am happy right now, very happy, I am taking your great advice. My hope is for you to have a sublime day and treat yourself like the queen that you are. Michael
Michael, you must have a rich & interesting life to have so many interests. Also, a very eloquent way with words!
Artist Reply: Christi, the truth is there is nothing I want for, except a love that doesnt go cold. Everything else is covered and I love plants and lots of animals and could care less if I lost all I have, Came up more then once. Now no work all play. thank you for the compliment. Michael
this is adifferent feel for you i think that we all get obsessed with stuff and things and not everyone has the courage to own up to it so i am doing it now hands up
Artist Reply: Well by the Gods and Goddesses, I am going back to the organic medicines. Get it. if they want to see obsessed. It's not nice to anger the big kitty. Michael
Such a very beautiful and marvellous obsession Miguel. I am afraid I have the same obsession.
Artist Reply: Well, what we call good clean fun might seem a bit over the top. At least I am not a drunken mess. Thank you for supporting good clean fun. Michael
Wonderful composition Miguel! It is a super clear image!
Artist Reply: You are so very sweet to say so, I am just an old farmer trying to pretty up the joint. I thank you for all you've said that has been so sweet about my work. You are so kind. My GRATITUDE. Michael
