yep, this is the way it is in the US now, well, only if you disagree with a liberal

L.A. Spilsbury 26 Nov 2007

fantastic as usual and the story should be in a book of wisdom

Artist Reply: L.A. : I appreciate you commenting on my words and my art. i value your input. Again thank you.

You're good I love it mind body and soul. You are a true eccentric your words given to thought could only be true. The individuals thought to know another reality that others can't see. I have a piece made from an old root of a redwood I believe. I found it on a path, never seeing it before in 8 months at least. Given to me by God. I thought it was a Wizard and a dragon, more months passing I saw it from a drawing I had done. Jesus and the devil and the twin towers coming up in front of Jesus, the devils head melting into the ground. I have sculpted most of it. Your piece just reminded me so much of it. The wood form and it's movement. I love your work.

Artist Reply: Laura: Your stopping by and sharing your valued insights with me are deeply appreciated. I do so ,look forward to further encounters with you and your art. Please stop back again anytime. And again thanks!!

So creatively done, I love how you chose these most animated roots to express this deep message. Excellent!! And the background works so effectively to tie in with it-

Timothy McAninch 27 Jul 2007

I've thought of violence born of pain and fear. I've pondered the story of Cain and Able. Your image reminds me of them. This story about the dogs is new to me. Excellent perspective on the problem.

Totally and utterly brilliant. Striking and emotional work with such a fantastic display of colour, mood and conceptualisation. The words are so utterly gorgeous and the wisdom is ageless. The one we feed is the one that grows. How true!
