HANGING SPRAY OF SCARLET ORCHIDS

HANGING SPRAY OF SCARLET ORCHIDS copyright by Michael Forbus The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh. The effect that they make in space is as bound up with them as might be their colour or smell... Therefore the painter must be as concerned with the air surrounding his subject as with the subject itself. (Lucien Freud)

I love what you do with the digital computer painting. It leaves and totally different enhancement than most. I really like it!!

Excellent quote and work and so very true of any form of art. Excellent work!

Artist Reply: Tahnja, my thanks for you for reading the quote and I believe it to be true. In my case I must have proximity awareness or become in a state of Shibumi which is a state of grace knowing that which surrounds you when I paint. Everything must be orderly around me. Interestingly enough some might say I am obsessive but I am practicing that quote. Thanks fo recognizing its importance and your gracious comments on my work. I sincerely appreciate it. Michael

Miguelito, absolutely beautiful!! So happy to open up the day and see new work of yours. Thank you for sharing your precious gifts. What a wonder-full feeling it must be to know that every day you make the world more beautiful by sharing the work that flows from you. Being soft with ourselves and soft with others, by keeping our hearts open, vulnerable and communicating, adds an immeasurable beauty that imbues all things. This softness and openness allows us to recive more love and inspiration-thus making the work you create ever richer and more loving..." With Lovingkindness, Linda Jade
