Fantastic!

Artist Reply: Jan, thank you so very much for your great words. How kind and gracious of you. The first thing I read today were your words and that starts the day perfect. My deepest gratitude to you and have a glorious weekend. Michael

Amen Miguel and Theodore!

Artist Reply: Jeanie, thanks so much. My mother is an absolute angelic woman. Always cheerful in the face of hardship at times. I am going to be close to her to give her some rest from the many things she is facing and my sister as well. Gardening and painting and finishing some work on her home. Get her fixed up on the east coast for a month of so and then head to the Gulf to do my projects. You are always so kind to hear from. Bless you, sweet woman. Michael

This is a stunning piece, and your words are so true.

Artist Reply: Minnie, this was dedicated to my dearest mother, who raised us on her own, all four and never made us feel poor or inferior and always taught us to be mannerly and kind. Things I should hope I have passed on to my children. She is a great woman and her mother's name, my grandmother had the same name as you. Bless you for your kindness. Michael

I think this is my favorite of your works so far! It has an mystical, magical glow to it, outstanding work!! Perfect work!

Artist Reply: Terry, that is such a giant compliment coming from someone as creative and talented and gifted as you. Your work is so magnificent. This was a special tribute to my mother so it had a little spiritual aspect to it. My deepest gratitude to you dear girl and I can' wait to see your next painting. They all are so magnificent. Michael
