Thank you so much for your kind words, Annette. I am very grateful. I have been busy doing other things but soon when I set my studio back up I will be working away. Thanks for your compliment and concern. Michael

This is wonderful imagery, Michael! ~S

Artist Reply: Steve, thanks so much for your very kind and generous comments. I like to keep the spiritual aspect in things as much as possible. This holy man has stared me down many times and always turned into a mirror. A little obscure but that is the truth. My thanks and gratitude to you and have a most glorious Thanksgiving. Michael

Lynn De Serres 21 Nov 2007

Outstanding artwork, Michael.

Artist Reply: Lynn, thank you so much for your great comments, I really appreciate them. I hope you have a most glorious Thanksgiving. Bless you and your love ones. Michael

Artist Reply: Linda, thanks so much for making this the pic....What a beautiful gesture, I really appreciate it. Thanks so much for your continued support. It means so much to me. My gratitude to you and have a most delightful Thanksgiving. Michael

Powerful portrait...love the lights and the blue depths of his eyes...

Artist Reply: Sara, I hope this finds you well and happy. Hope things are working out in N.C. I am moving back to Florida, except not on the East Coast but the Gulf coast to do an art project there and have started doing some work with the project we have discussed. I have been doing a series of large format pieces for the city I live in (27 total) and am just finishing the last two, then I move to St. Petersburg to do some work with a man who is developing a center around the museum there and donating a huge collection of Chihuly glass to the museum. Great guy. So when I get settled, I will send you my address and phone and we can stay in touch. I have some more interest in the Autism project so that is good, but have to make the art sell first. Thanks so much for your kind words and generous comments. You are always so kind and the work you have been doing is really wonderful. My prayers that you are well and happy and have a most glorious Thanksgiving. Michael

Your digital manipulations makes it seem possible to capture such a face in paint. As you say it is strange how the holiness shows in the face.

Artist Reply: There is this man's face a degree of caring for all of humanity. He seems to radiate not just a kindness but a true caring for the souls and joy of those that look at him. The eyes truly penetrate the part of the viewer that resonates in all of humanity and connects us all. We are truly all one in those eyes. My grateful thanks to you for your great and kind words. Michael

Minnie Shuler 17 Nov 2007

I don't know how you do it, but this is gorgeous.

Artist Reply: Minnie, my deepest thanks to you for your great words of encouragement. It is your deep thoughts and formulas that confound me, I don't know how you create such beauty. Mine seems so easy to me and I am moved by the natural things in life that occur while yours is totally invented by your own formulas. That is just amazing to me. My deepest thanks dear friend and I hope that everything you wish for exceeds your dreams. Have a most remarkable day. Michael

Patty Day 17 Nov 2007

Marvelous work, Michael!!! I like this a lot!!

Artist Reply: Thank you Patty. I like doing the devotees quite a bit. There is something in the eyes and the way they carry themselves that gets me. Love that. More then Western spiritualists. Thanks so much for you kind remarks and have a great Sunday. Michael

Emily Reed 12 Feb 2007

WHAT A FANTASTIC RENDER. YOUR TECHNIQUE GIVES MYSTERY AND ENCHANTMENT TO YOUR PORTRAIT! JUST GREAT!

julie Marks 12 Feb 2007

You captured the essence of this very wise and powerful man. I love the image and the text and to put the icing on the cake a quote by one of our all time legends, Judy Garland. There was a lady with a deep soul and paralled with your exceptional painting, a heart of gold. His deep blue eyes add dimension to the saying that the eyes are the windows of the soul. Great work, mi rey milagro.

Karim Bouchnak 12 Feb 2007

A great, awesome work, Miguel. The eyes and the face of this man tell the story of mankind. All the pain and sufferings lie in them.

Marilyn Comparetto 12 Feb 2007

Superb Miguel you never cease to amaze me!

Hanna Stawska 11 Feb 2007
