    Love it. These Friday posts make me think how artists capture human vulnerability.

    I often wonder about how some people come to be born with the gift of artistic impression. What a remarkable gift indeed...my jaw drops when I see such a deep and fine ability to reflect emotion on a two-dimensional surface.

    Remarkable. I so appreciate your sharing these.

    They're all varying degrees of beautiful, but the W.S. Kendall is stunning!

    these are gorgeous, all of them are gorgeous... I can't wait to go check out the new art link you have over there...

    I think I like the last one the best but that's only because it appeals right now....another time, another painting.... thank you for posting such loveliness each week...
