Artist Reply: Joe, thanks so much for the great communication and your kind comments. I love your experimentation with your great work and the excellent results you get. Fantastic. My gratitude for your compliments. Michael
Artist Reply: Jessica, thanks so much for your kind remarks. A gentleman who owns the largest collection of Chihulys work might want me to do some images for his collection he donated to a museum project he is doing so cross your fingers. It would be my largest project to date. Thanks for all your support and I also am a fan of yours. Michael
Artist Reply: Jerry, you are the genius. You are such a talent. Magnificent and a large fish in a small sea. Your work is always so stunning and yet organic from the usage of the first mechanical drawing tool to your brilliant usage of shading, shadow and light. I am humbled by your work. I am so very grateful for your comments on mine and you are so gracious t make them. My gratitude, Michael
Ooo - you make Chihuly look good Miguel - mag foto!! :0)
Artist Reply: Chas, my dear friend and inspirational art being. I thank you so much for your continued support. You are the king of making art fun and sensual. Great artist you are. I have a chance to work with a group that is building an art center in St. Petersburg, Florida and they will use the images I make in the museum where a gentleman who is developing the project donated a huge private collection of Dale's to the museum. A huge project with a lovely plan. I will know when he returns from his yearly sojourn to Israel and I will kiss the monkey in Macy's window in downtown Dallas if it works. Not spank, but kiss. So keep me in your positive thoughts. God knows I am not getting rich here. Unless you consider friendship, and yours is worth it's weight in Burmese rubies. You are the champ and I alway love seeing your name on my mail. Have a lovely evening, my dear friend. Michael
