Gratitude
Chris, EVERYTIME I see one of your paintings I am filled with gratitude that I can study with you at Scottsdale Artists' School. Your work exhibits the very qualities that I wish someday to demonstrate in my own paintings: beauty and strength. I know that certain music can bring forth a rush of instant, unplanned emotion, but so does seeing your beautiful work. Just the act of seeing your work, Bill Whitaker's, Linda Brandon's and Sharon's K.'s, causes something to grab me around the throat and make me want to cry. What IS that?!!!
My appreciation for your insightful expertise grows with every painting that I paint, guessing at the hours of effort that have gone into the creation of such paintings ... a humbling experience.
