It was a true pleasure to sit and listen to a man speaking of his 'journey'.... the struggles and the cost and the triumphs and the continuous nature of it all......with the added bonus of standing before his work ...the luscious brushwork that was obviously contemplated in part and yet still 'vital' .....Im beginning to sound like an art critic ....... note to self - STOP :) .........I simply loved the whole experience....its not often you get to drink in a body of work and listen at length to the artist's journey before and during its creation.....quite simply... I LOVED IT
