To the dear mystery artist who has overcome much heartaches and sorrow, and daily reaches beyond those limitations, I see your heart in each beautiful, bold painting. Your talent reaches and touches my heart with every carefully rendered painting.

Photo one of the sunset in bright, bold colors, still high and perfect in the sky basking a lone boat with the intricate dragon's bust speaks to me of courage on a lonely path, perhaps at times feeling the loneliness of that solitary journey. You are fierce and bold. Your journey has changed you, and deepened your appreciation for life and beauty. The water is calm, in spite of inner turmoil in the painting, I feel viewing the boat's deep blue.

Painting two rendered with a very large heart of red reveals a deep passion for life and people. The accents of blue again reveal points of peace and balance. The green is life and renewal cupping the heart changed by challenge. The multiple white hearts representative of hope, which flutters upward and out of the painting, uplifting notes.

Painting three of the corn stalks, all but one leaning to the West are all sturdy, with different stages of strength and maturity. Only two stand straight, the smallest and the farthest stalk, still tall, still strong in spite of nature's often harsh conditions. I raised corn for many years, one harsh storm sometimes flattened the whole crop of sweet corn causing me to go and pluck the salvageable ears and leave what was not yet mature to compost for the coming year.
