Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind comments Kerra....I see you're a pretty good painter yourself...specially liked the off season house and one lovely simple landscape watercolor. Painting for me is as much about exploring internal ideas sometimes beyond words as it is about external reality....so many artists been used to promote false pride and power...should we not question images we are asked to produce? Difficult question for artist when comissioned to paint the military for example...peace and love Steve
