Skyart,  Your work is very unique, interesting and a joy to see.  If it makes you happy to do it, then that is the most important thing  no matter what anybody thinks about it.  You couldn't possibly have wasted any time playing the guitar if you loved that when you did it!  Lots of artists have no formal training, and most artists never "make it" which is why it's critical in life to do what you love, be with whom you love.  I have a double major art degree, lots of training and talent, and I still have to have a "real job" to keep a roof over my head.  I LOVE drawing, it's not popular, and I don't care.  I think my work indicates that.  Your work also shows me that it's really you, and really worth it.  Keep at it!

Hello.  Your work is very nice!  I am especially drawn to "Colorado Moon" (It has good compositional balance & interest), "When The Sky Begins To Fall" (I like the huge sphere! - It's unexpected and so adds interest.), and "Untitled" (Bold use of color. - Very nice!).  Most of your work has a calm feeling to it and that is very pleasant; And the ones with something dramatic in them tend to draw me in the most.  Just keep doing what you're doing, trust yourself and follow your heart.  It may sound cliche, but it is rare that anyone truly does this.  I think you know what you're doing.  Keep on exploring.  Your art is great!

All the best,

-Jendria 

Hey Sky!

I like your taste, i like your work and I like your politics. Knowing the Fox Valley, you must find yourself a little isolated at parties when discussion turns to elections. 

I lived in the Peoples Republic of Madison for 7 years and in Wausau for 1.5, but I still like snow.  Always have.  I like the colors it brings to winter.  You don't look old enough to be a grandfather and I'm sorry for what Brady has to go through. Nothing sucks more than that. Have you given him a paintbrush?

Now I'm in the Peoples Republic of Vermont, which is what Wisconsin would be if you smooshed it together so that the prairie folded up into mountains.  We are a lot of French and British and I so miss that fabulous upper midwest sense of humor.  I will also miss your quarterback.  He always remembered that it was a game he was playing and that was truly refreshing.

I know you hate to read, so I'll cut this off.  Nice to meet you.

First I want you to know I wish for Brady that he is a strong little boy ( sounds like he is ) and will overcome this dreaded disease, our thought and prayers are with him.

I love your colors and your compositions. Keep up the good work, it is also very therapeudic for you .

Skyart, Neat paintings!  Your title reminds me a little bit of Peter Max!  Very trippy yet straightforward!  Cool stuff.

Hi again,  it is the California Serenity painting I was referring to.

Hi SkyArt,  I'm moved by your comments in your About Me....I doubt you were waisting your time all those years playing guitar...a person who can take up one creative form of expression is lucky, but one who can take up 2 is luckier still!  Love that little guy of yours! If you can give him even half the brightness that shows up in your paintings... That is quite a gift...and in turn I'm sure you are grateful for the wonderful gift he is to you!!!!

Your mountain painting, the colors, your paint strokes reminds me a little of Van Gogh (one of my favorite artists!)
