To Michael and other prolific and true artists,
What I admire and enjoy is how you see the world and share it with me and many others. As an admirer of art (no matter wich form), I am very much interested in the various aspects, difficulties and limitations of the medium you have chosen to share your emotions with. Hence, I read this forum and luminous landscape website with great interest, watch you all debate at times with much passion and, may I say, errance. I try to be as studious as one can be, but I must admit (and I accept) that I very often must face my ignorance.
I just want to state all the respect I have for all of you trying to find the best "paint brushes" and the best techniques to use them, but meanwhile never forgetting the meaning of your search: giving me the gift of your sensitivity trough your quest. Had not Michael been able to touch me, this essay would have left me entirely uninterested. As an amateur and mostly an art admirer, I certainly did not grasp half of it's meaning. For some reasons, he has the opportunity to experiment a lot and without too many limitations (financial or other). I can only win.
Michel
