  I've always found it difficult to put into words my true feelings and after 240 posts-I find it no easier. I am not a good writer, nor will I ever be. I feel most at home with brush in hand-allowing it to do my talking for me. I've done much painting since I've discovered the truth about the truth. At this moment in time I have precious little to say-at best nothing original. I would like to share with you one of my favorite
  van Gogh gallery.

  I love Van Gogh. Of course, all I can afford are the cheap prints, but I have Starry Night, Irises, and Sunflowers.

  Rhw-You are so cool. I have an excellent forgery of Starry Night, the rest are prints-we can dream, can't we?

  7, have you ever checked out Charles Wysocki or Bonnie Marris?

  I don't know if you like the American Folk style of painting or animals, but these two and several other artists whose names I can't recall right now have some wonderful works.

  I've picked up some signed lithographs on eBay...now I'm saving up to get them framed LOL

  I love Wysocki's cat prints. They are so whimsical (and I love animals, anyway). My favorite is "Frederick the Literate" with Frederick asleep on a bookshelf filled with classics such as "A Tale of Two Kitties".

  To Rhw-Do you have Frederick? If you don't plan on making the purchase soon. Most I've seen available are running around $4K signed and mint condition. I have CW's Gay Head Light-love it. I am in love with Bonnie Marris' Wolfsong. If you've
  never seen it, look it up and enjoy.

  S2, Many good points made in your post. Yes, I may post some of my work here in the future-paintings and photographs. I hope it will encourage others to do the same.

  Yes, 7, I have Frederick. I got it on eBay....mint, signed, framed and triple-matted. Really good deal....nowhere near $4k (thank gawd).

  I also was able to pick up Remington, Elmer and Loretta, Max in the Adirondacks, and an artist proof of Maggie the Messmaker.

  I have Bonnie Marris' "Old Grey's Barn and Bistro", but I was never able to get Wolfsong. I like it though.

  Hi m2u, If you've found your way to this forum, I've made the van Gogh
  site I mentioned into a workable click for you. The site includes many links-even to the letters you're currently reading. Enjoy.

  Thanks for the "click" -7-.

  Here is a good one: http://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/abstract-expressionism.html...not the HOME page but a section I'm currently studying.

  You don't come to JW Discussion nearly as much as you used to huh ?

  Thanks,

  Federico

  Federico, Thank you too for the click. My business has taken up much of my time lately-explaining my absence. It should slow down for the remainder of the winter.
