Amazing work

Artist Reply: Dear Paul.Trust you are well.I have not been around my computer for some time.Thank you so much for your various encouraging comments.I really do appreciate it! I do art,as I do most other things in llfe,as if I do it for my Creator.In that way I try to do my best with my given talent.I also do art to generate funds to assist the needy and underprivileged.Sometimes I sit and cry when painting at night when others sleep, thinking that many people have no food or shelter.One out of every two people in South Africa are jobless.So in my humble way I try to better the lives of others.
