Gina says

Hi Burt,
I chose SoJourn at the Sea. It’s very relax­ing to look at and enjoy.
I have to admit I always won­dered what hap­pen to you.
As I was very young when I took my first Silva class with you as my instructor…now I know. I look for­ward to using the Mind­Box Col­lec­tion with great con­fi­dence.
Much Peace & Light,
Gina

Victoria says

Burt, I have started lis­ten­ing to the Mind­Box and I am just amazed by the wis­dom that you are so gen­er­ously spread­ing in such sim­ple to under­stand way. You are chang­ing my life at this very moment. I can’t even explain how amaz­ing I feel that I have found your teachings.

Thank you for shar­ing your won­der­ful work with us. After lis­ten­ing to the cre­ativ­ity mind box, you prove once again that your mind is so pow­er­ful that you can paint like this hav­ing never been a painter before.

I love WOMAN WITH SPINE, it is some­thing out of this world.

THANK YOU FOR DOING IT ALL!

Alina says

Hi Burt, my favourite is also the snow pic­ture! I find mar­tial arts (jitsu, karate, taek­wondo) very relax­ing. Also hit­ting bulls­eye in any­thing is calm­ing (I’m only talk­ing about tar­get sheets with cir­cles). Hah! And I study law, which is some­times relax­ing too, actu­ally… but I’m a won­der­ful human being really, I think

Eugenia says

Hi Burt

You are amazed man and inspi­ra­tion for many peo­ple.
Your paint­ings are very fine. I like your pic­ture show­ing win­ter.
The com­ment box is to small to tell you what I am doing.
I also enjoy doing art.

Andres says

Burt,

Thanks for shar­ing your pic­tures. I like the snow scene and SOJOURN AT THE SEA. Burt, I don’t know how to relax so I don’t do anything…wish I knew how to really let go and relax.

Cindy says

Hi Burt!

I choose your Snow Scene paint­ing, for use of color and “sound qual­ity.” I don’t (do) cold, but I love to watch gen­tly falling snowflakes on grate­ful evergreens.

I like gar­den­ing, lis­ten­ing to music, doing Numerol­ogy Charts, laugh­ing and pet­ting my cat, Merlin.

Thanks to you, every day in every way, my life gets bet­ter and better!

Bless­ings!

Nancy F. says

Good­Morn­ing Burt! I absolutely Love After­noon at the Museum, also the Snow, I have looked at your past gallery paint­ings and really drawn to your style. I love the feel­ings you por­tray with color! I am one of your friends on Face­book, see you there!!!Happy New Year to you! Namaste’

Betty says

Dear Burt,
Thank you for shar­ing your work.
Each of your paint­ings has its own qual­ity.
After­noon at the Museum… con­tem­pla­tive­ness.
Sojourn At The Sea… a long­ing and thought­ful­ness .
Woman with Spine… a vibrance.
Night Cafe … bore­dom and lone­li­ness.
Snow .… peace and con­tent­ment.
They are all mem­o­rable but am lean­ing to the snow scene.: )

Have a Happy New Year !
Betty

Redwood Gal says

Hi Burt,
My favorite is the peace­ful snow scene.
For relax­ation and to move for­ward in life, I chant nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

Rosemarie says

I love your art,was quite a sur­prise to me. I would say the snow scene is my favorite but I love your use of color and the fact that the viewer can always use his/her imag­i­na­tion to fin­ish the shapes if we have to.

I am also an artist, paint on porce­lain. It can be very exact­ing or free depend­ing on my inner line-up. Then comes the purifi­ca­tion through fir­ing, which often brings dis­a­point­ment or sur­prise and clears the way for fur­ther improve­ments.. Some­times I have to keep view­ing the pieces for a while all by myself and some­times it is easy to part with one’s own art. We leave our­selves open to all kinds of opinions.

Thank you for inspir­ing and shar­ing your “other side”.

Cara Herbstreit says

My favorite is that there is sev­eral of them. It is really not so much the con­tent of any of them but rather that they are what they are together. A cul­mi­na­tion of one’s lessons. An opin­ion. A tal­ent. A pro­longed com­mit­ment to one’s self. Achievement.

Jill Lambert says

Dear­est Burt,
You’re such an inspi­ra­tion to me in so many ways. I didn’t have a rela­tion­ship with my father, so when I lis­ten to your cds, I like to think of you in that way, giv­ing me advice and tools to make my life bet­ter.
Your paint­ings are amaz­ing, and my favorites so far are the Sou­journ to the Beach and the snow scene. Both of them seem to emit a ten­der­ness and peace­ful­ness that makes me feel good. Thank you so much for what you do.
Sin­cerely,
Jill Lambert

Robert Bateson says

Thank’s Bert it’s good to see my eeeego in the word of mammon

I truly love you

Margo says

Burt I like them all!!!! I take the energy from each pic­ture and it fills and nour­ishes my soul. They are each so mean­ing­ful even if you don’t say what they are for you. What you do say adds more to my expe­ri­ence. Thank you so much for using all your tal­ents and shar­ing them xxxxxxxxxxxx

devon caruso says

My favorite — Night Cafe’, this is where I find or lose myself, play­ing the lovely game of pocket billiards.

Thank You Burt, Great Work!
Devon

Gilbert Oliver says

I love all your paint­ings they are all unique. My favorite is Woman with a Spine, very reveal­ing. As to your sec­ond ques­tion, need­less to say, Med­i­ta­tion is my favorite, I have another but is very per­sonal, I can only tell you in per­son, sorry. Have a won­der­full life.

Maureen says

Hi Burt,

Thank you for shar­ing your art with us. I think they’re all won­der­ful. I would like to see some of the art you have done based on your own life and sur­round­ings, as that would be a direct reflec­tion of you, and your per­sonal reflec­tion of your own life. Each paint­ing is a true gift to those view­ing it, and an insight into you, the artist. It is like shar­ing a part of your­self with the world. Thank you for shar­ing a part of your life with us.

I used to paint and draw when I was younger, and I’m think­ing of revis­it­ing those tal­ents and gifts of mine again. Thank you for the inspiration.

To relax I love to med­i­tate, read, gar­den, take bike rides, camp, and pur­sue var­i­ous spir­i­tual and artis­tic endeav­ors. I find that art is so very heal­ing to my soul. It brings out what is on the sur­face and helps it to heal. Kind of like work­ing in the gar­den of life — it becomes a liv­ing med­i­ta­tion. Every thought and emo­tion has a face and/or a form. There is much inside of me and my con­scious­ness that I would love to put on a canvas.

In Lov­ing Kind­ness & Infi­nite Love…

Mau­reen

Joseph says

I enjoyed look­ing at your paintings.

I relax by read­ing, fre­quently Aus­trian Eco­nom­ics and Eco­nomic His­tory. Be well.
Joseph K. Brady-Amoon

Linda says

Hi Burt!

I liked them all — they have a peace about them that is borne of the love you have when you are paint­ing. I have lit­tle relax­ation time (which is my own fault) as I work full-time and am try­ing to fin­ish my dis­ser­ta­tion for my PhD. Med­i­ta­tion is my relax­ation — and I have planned an upcom­ing week in Hawaii just to do nothing.

E'vala says

Wow this is so pretty you have a very tal­ented secrect side of yourself.

Ingrid Kayyaliova says

Hi Burt,

I pre­fer the snow scene.

Best regards,

Ingrid

Kriss Siler says

I love “Woman with Spine” best of all. I love the vibrant, danc­ing col­ors that depict courage, bold­ness, love of life, vision and wis­dom for me. Whether or not one agrees with Sarah Palin’s pol­i­tics or any­thing else about her is irrel­e­vant to the beauty of the paint­ing itself.

For relax­ation, I also love to paint, draw, cro­chet, knit, dance, sing, read any­thing and every­thing, attend con­certs, watch ice-skating and gym­nas­tics, and watch movies. I also enjoy the var­i­ous tal­ent shows on TV, along with pub­lic tele­vi­sion, sci­ence and nature, his­tory, the food net­work, and a few drama series. I also love to write, write, write. These things only scratch the sur­face of all the things and peo­ple I enjoy. I guess I could sum it all up by say­ing that liv­ing sim­ply, laugh­ing often and lov­ing deeply are all relax­ing food for my soul.

With deep grat­i­tude for all you share, Burt.

Kuulei says

Aloha Burt,
Your paint­ings, “Woman with Spine” and “Sojourn at the Sea” spoke to me the most of the 5 paint­ings you have posted on your site. One can see (“Woman with Spine” can­vas) the energy and vital­ity flow­ing up the spine, spilling out the top, and over the front in an end­less cycle — just like the infin­ity sym­bol. To me, it shows the infin­ity of the soul / spirit that is in each of us. “Sojourn at the Sea” is every souls quest and jour­ney thru the vast­ness of time / space. Like those on dock look­ing out to sea, a lot of us stand around con­tem­plat­ing or wait­ing for life to hap­pen. Oth­ers jump in and make things hap­pen. Whether you have fun in the sea depends on how well you pre­pare your­self before jump­ing in the deep end. Thank you, Burt for your ded­i­ca­tion in remind­ing us of the eter­nal truths that you teach thru your var­i­ous CD pro­grams. Keep up the great and needed work! Mahalo …

T. Watanabe says

Nice, Burt. I love your art.
One of your paint­ings ‚” Llama After Shearing”,I have printed out and hanged on the wall of my room.

Kenny says

They are all very well done,my favo­rate would have to be eather “Sojourn at the Sea” or the snow one.

things i do to relax besides meditation

–sleep
–chi exer­cises
–And i play my gui­tar and piano
–or som­times i just like to sit and watch tv
rarely though-only when cer­tain shows i like are on Man vs Wild,Survivorman,Two and a Half men,Freinds,lots more i like edu­ca­tional pro­grams like the sur­viv­ing ones and how its made and i like com­edy and enter­tain­ingones like freinds and two and a half men.
–I also read,fantasy,realistic fiction,multitude of books

–i get on the com­puter to look at all the medi­a­tion and chi exer­cises that are on
–i play video games,which i con­sider like an inter­ac­tive book i like the ones with a good storyline(Wii,Ps2,Ds,Gamecube)
–i like going out­side to do stuff like i usu­ally climb a tree and med­i­tate up there.…i like hav­ing height it makes me enjoy the med­i­ta­tion more

but i also do mar­tial arts out­side and hang ot with freinds,i do nintaijitsu,capoeira,karate, and i do a lit­tle grap­pel­ing but i cant usu­ally prac­tise
that outside.I usu­ally prac­tise with the shur­rikens and things outside(my dose of non relax­ing things)

You should tell us what you do to occu­pie you­self burt bet­ter and better

i do buches of things though

Ljerka says

Dear Burt,

it’s very cold here these days,so I think I like the Sojourn at the Sea most,since it reminds me on the hot sum­mer days at the beau­ti­ful Adri­atic Sea. It makes me feel cosy and warm.
But the most intrigu­ing one — I find Woman with Spine — not because of her spine and all the pos­si­ble con­no­ta­tions around it, but because of the unde­fined col­oratura the rest of the paint­ing — totally dif­fer­ent from the other paintings.

Edji says

Dear Mr Gold­man,
I enjoyed your paint­ings — I never went to an art school but I also paint. How­ever, I have a com­pletely dif­fer­ent style. You asked for com­ments — So, I will give you some the way I like to get for my own paint­ings (hon­est).
1) After­noon at the Museum is excel­lent in terms of com­po­si­tion, choice of colours, peacefulness…You gave us a pri­vate spot in that museum to enjoy and refect in peace.
2) Sojourn at sea: slightly cold for me — How­ever, the posi­tion of the lights is inter­est­ing — less light to the right…There are a few con­trasts in this paint­ing that can be given quite a bit of inter­pre­ta­tions at a deeper level… In that sense — It is the most inter­est­ing paint­ing.
3) Woman with spine: is the best for me. Not because of the theme but again in terms of com­po­si­tion, choice of col­ors, light/shadow, pro­por­tion and what not — Beau­ti­ful (I love col­ors).
4) Night cof­fee: is also very inter­est­ing — very good theme — How­ever, the use of green in two large areas makes the over­all slightly out of bal­ance. If the light in the mid­dle was slightly up, it would have cre­ated more har­mony by break­ing the large green space a lit­tle.
3) I love the last paint­ing — I always smile when I see a per­son with an ambrella dur­ing a snow storm. It is inter­est­ing to see how the lady is car­ry­ing it tilted to pre­vent the wind from snatch­ing it from her hand. It is funny because it is such a tir­ing exer­cise to cary an ambrella dur­ing a windy snow storm. I love it — Sense of humor.
Voila — There you have my hon­est com­ments.
E.S.

Alexander says

Methamor­pho­sis of the soul projects light onto many insights!!

The “woman with spine” projects strong vibes and aknowl­edges great respect!
Sojourn at sea shows patience wait­ing for the return of the dar­ing ones out there.
The night café cap­ture these rare moments of life where the pres­sure of get­ting things done has dropped and mere exis­tence has become the whole.
The “Snow fall” scene besides the hot day cool­ing effect shows the seren­ity of the self.

Good pro­jec­tion Burt

Martha says

Hi, Burt. I Like all your paint­ings but spe­cially “Women with Spine”. Very orig­i­nal and Inspir­ing. It is full of color. Inspires me to be more cre­ative, and invites me to enjoy free­dom and all the thing that life has to offer, which is enough rea­son for hap­i­ness.
Congratulation!

Lasmono (Rify) Dyar says

Hello Burt,

I always am curi­ous about what the Silva Sys­tem could do to pen­e­trate into the minds of ‘World Lead­ers’ in order to supp­port them who’re full of stress con­di­tions with­out any solu­tion for it.

And I’m hard work­ing in my coun­try to ful­fill my mis­sion to bring enlaght­en­ment to my coun­try. We’ve since a log time a very bad eco­nomic sit­u­a­tion. And I think that none of our lead­ers has the courage to change them­self for the bet­ter, to have a sen­si­tive intu­ition to rely on and build­ing anew their neg­a­tive habits.

I like you paint­ing, even I’m not that guy, because I can’t paint.

The paint­ing that has my deep atten­tion is the first one.

Go on Burt,

Bet­ter and net­ter, Rify.

Carol says

Hello…
There’s a Joy in paint­ing from the Soul, is there not? I have had this expe­ri­ence, as well as paint­ing for some­one else’s plea­sure, which was not at all the same, but required patience and a pull from the well­spring of life expe­ri­ence, as opposed to ‘let­ting it flow’ onto the can­vas, wall, what­ever.
Well Done, my friend,

Well done. Carol

Heather Persall says

Hi Burt;
Thank you so much for shar­ing your paint­ings. I par­tic­u­larly like the snow first off since I am Cana­dian and I am very com­fort­able with it but I also like Sojourn at the Seashore. It reminds of how I would like to be if I had the oppor­tu­nity to live any­where I liked.
For now, I love to sing to relax and also I am into embroidery.

Roger Fitzsimonds says

I love Woman with Spine. This paint­ing just seems to talk to me. it is very pow­er­ful. For relax­ation I am a wood­worker and wood turner. very relax­ing and in the present sort of hobby. Keep up the good work. Bert

Rebecca says

Burt:

All of your paint­ings are good. But my favorite is Sojourn at the Sea. For me it is really relax­ing to be at the sea. In my spare time, I go rock hunt­ing as a way to relax, I also spend time with my ani­mals, and I cook as a way to relax.

I spend time also read­ing alot. I also do a lot of jour­nal­ing to relax.

Blessins,
Rebecca

Patricia A.C. Eppenbrock says

Dear Mr. Gold­man,
I do appre­ci­ate you shar­ing your art with so many. If I had to choose a paint­ing, I believe “Woman With Spine” would be my choice as it effected me the most as I looked at your art. Though a bit unnerv­ing I find it quite fas­ci­nat­ing. I to am an artist. Thank-You,

Patri­cia

Judy says

Hi Burt

Really excep­tional work. I love the snow scene and the cafe is haunt­ingly lonely in feel­ing. Thank you for shar­ing your tal­ent with us in so many ways. How lucky you are to have this cre­ative out­let and comfort.

Melles says

Hallo Burt,
Thank you so much for shar­ing your paints. I really love Night Cafe, but they are all won­der­fulbe proud and respect!!!!
And thanks for being friend´s,hope to hear more from you, Melles

Florence Lam says

Hi, Burt. I sim­ply love the Woman with Spine. So full of col­ors & express vital­ity, enthu­si­asm and an open­ness for change.

You paint excellently!

Dereje says

all are stun­ning to me.
I do read­ing and browsing

Nuuky says

Hi Burt,

You are very very gifted artist as well as a glow­ing unit of the energy source!

And that´s why I am going to com­ment about some things:

Your 4 paint­ings are inspired by Van Gogh paintings.That´s fine,because it shows the enor­mous tal­ent you have.
Van Gogh was the pre­cur­sor of Expre­sion­ism (paint­ing)
How­ever, I would like to admire those paint­ings inspired by your own life expe­ri­ences and/or spir­i­tual experiences.As an artist,it is a very inter­est­ing task to say good­bye to all those oth­ers artis­tic influ­ences and to start the jour­ney inside, in order to dis­cover and cre­ate one´s unique style and expression.

I know for sure, that you can also be a pre­cur­sor painter.You have the gift,you meditate.You can bring out amaz­ing knowl­edge from your spir­i­tual level and com­mu­ni­cate them with your unique style.

This is a very inter­est­ing chal­lenge… for every artist!

I express you my sin­cere admiration!

Jose says

Hi,Burt:
What can I say?I like all of them.You have the talent,and who under­stands the mean­ing of them,for sure they are agree.Congratulations,Burt!!!

Margherita says

Thanks for shar­ing your paint­ings. I love the Woman with Spine. I found it really inspir­ing. I really love the color com­bi­na­tion and atmos­phere of this paint­ing. Thanks for your contribution

José Guilherme says

Hi Burt,

Thanks for shar­ing your art.
I was impressed by the After­noon By The Museum.
Art within art… not easy. Geat per­spec­tive.
It seams to me you’re a mix­ture of styles,Impressionist mainly.
Keep on. Thank you for your com­mit­ment to the good of mankind.
regards

yogidodie says

hi i liked woman with spine, although dont equate it with sara palin at all, great paint­ings all of them.

Jimmy says

After­noon at the museum and the snow one looks appeal­ing. Can’t describe it but I like the colour and what they rep­re­sent. Thanks for the shar­ing. Really appreciated.

Merilee Tutcik says

I liked the “Woman With Spine” it is free and explo­rative. It is as though it evolved from it’s own energy.I can look at it for a long time. It grabs me.

Carol says

Hi Burt,
Thanks for shar­ing your impres­sive painting,I love After­noon At The Museum, 3 x 8 foot my good ness i would love to see that. your work is calm­ing and peaceful,love it thankyou its beautiful.i try to med­i­tate to relax i have just joined a med­i­ta­tion class im realy enjoy­ing, most of the time i sit out side next to my pond and enjoy lifes true won­ders, i love nature and to be able to sit back and take it all in i feel is the most relax­ing. You said you loved face­book, then you may like myspace bet­ter, i find it much eas­ier to get around than face­book.
Take care, God bless

Daniel Tamene says

Burt Burt Burt!
where is the source of all this?
You paint life man, life envi­ron­ment hobby, all together.
but do not for­get the trop­i­cal area also,shade your light on them.

Good work
Daniel

Francoise says

I love the woman with the spine.Because I am a woman I feel empow­ered but such a painting.It helps me to pull up my socks when I feel like cow­ard­ing to change.I feel like its god’s way to tell me to stand firm and get a spine.And do not be afraid but to be empow­ered The spine keeps the back together and there­fore you break your spine you can be par­al­ized but and healthy spine you stand firm. I know for some this would be weird but for me it makes me think of myself to be empow­ered and not to cow­ard thank you Burt Just added more faith to faith I already had but it is a nice way to mean face things in life.I like run­ning away or avoid­ing some­thing exists and this paint­ing tells me not to.God Bless you and thank you.Francoise

georgia says

Hi Burt,
I liked all of your paint­ings. But my favorite was
the snow paint­ing, as I also live in an area where it
never snows. Well actu­ally it snowed about 4 years
ago (about 1/2 an inch) on Christ­mas Eve. How­ever I
was in San Diego, Calif. at the time that it hap­pened.
But, my great-grandaughter called me and I felt the
thrill of it all. I imag­ined myself mak­ing snow angels
in the snow when I saw your paint­ing. Keep up the good
work. I love to work in my gar­den and tend all the beau­ti­ful plants that are in it. I also sit in my swing
and drink a glass of tea while lis­ten­ing to the birds
that visit and also enjoy all the beau­ti­ful but­ter­flies, rab­bits, and small crea­tures that ven­ture in.

Siripala Palandage says

Dear Burt,

Your night cafe pic­ture Shawn us the empti­ness of life at the end of ulti­mate plea­sure.
Thanks

Judy says

Hi Burt

Your paint­ings are beau­ti­ful; I like them all but my favorite is women with a spine. You could not have made a bet­ter com­par­i­son to Sara Palin; we will see her again.

Thanks for sharing

Ines says

Hello Burt:
Amaz­ing pic­tures, i really like the Night Cafe it feels very relax­ing and warm; even it seems to be cold.

Thanks for sharing

Ines Restrepo

Nina says

Hi Burt,

Look­ing at your paint­ings is like spend­ing an ‘After­noon in a Museum’. It’s incred­i­bly impres­sive! I do love to sing as a way to express myself, and I do it well when I’m very inspired. Now, I’m going to try paint­ing. Thanks to you, it’s never too late.

More Power to YOU, Burt!

Nina

Val says

I liked the snow falling, as I have never lived in snow, but love to look at it!

All the very best,
Val ( From Downunder)

tammy says

Hello Burt,

I just love the NIGHT CAFE and the SNOW one. The snow paint­ing makes me feel clean, clear and fresh yet feeled with wormth.
I enjoy med­i­tat­ing in my bed and sink­ing into my bed remaing still with no thoughts and just drift off but yet aware some­times I do fall asleep but almost always I feel a tin­gling going up and down my body and I feel refeshed when I get up. I love what you are doing and Thank you…Blessings~ Tammy

Burt Goldman says

Thank you all for the oh so pos­i­tive com­ments. But I believe that some of you don’t real­ize that all the pic­tures below ‘Morn­ing at the Museum’ are in the paint­ing Morn­ing at the museum. They are not indi­vid­ual paint­ings, but are part of the 3 x 8 foot orig­i­nal. As they are hard to see I thought I would blow each one up and show it as you see. Thank you all again.
Burt Goldman

John says

Evening Burt

I do not know why but your paint­ing of Woman with Spine for some rea­son I like it a lot it seems to stir my imag­i­na­tion and I sup­pose that’s what good art is sup­pose to do. How­ever when I first looked at this pic­ture and not the name I thought it was kun­dalini on the move up though a body.

Strange what the mind’s eye will see untill some­one point out what it looks like to them or in this case a name and then you can see it too, In any case I really like this one, JW Downs

marti says

From one artist to another I thought your color palette for the snow scene was GREAT! I had a lit­tle prob­lem under­stand­ing your style, since you showed us an abstract as well as whim­si­cal looks. Do you like to do both, usu­ally? To relax I may paint out­doors, med­i­tate, or go to the beach to see the turquoise water and white crest of the waves along the light sandy shore. For­tu­nately, weather per­mits these indul­gences often. (Hawaii) When it rains I love to be wrapped up with a good book and some hot chocolate!

Brooke says

Hi there Burt. I just love the snow scene. I live in Canada and just love a good snow­fall. It is so peace­ful and beau­ti­ful. I like to read to relax…especially his­tor­i­cal nov­els. It’s an escape and I don’t have to think…just make the words pic­tures in my mind and since this hap­pens auto­mat­i­cally it requires no effort from me.
Have a won­der­ful day Burt.
In love and laugh­ter, Brooke

Michelene says

Hi Burt
The Women with Spine caught my eye and left me won­der­ing what Sarah Palin spoke about that night. I enjoy research regard­ing love and teach­ing for my relax time.
I think that Paint­ing and or draw­ing is a great way to expe­ri­ence cre­ativ­ity while relax­ing and enjoy­ing your­self.
Have a nice day Burt
Do it with Love

Jenny says

Hi Burt, Love them all for dif­fer­ent rea­sons but prob­a­bly Sou­journ at the Sea by a neck.

I love singing loudly to songs I love in the car or when I am at home alone and danc­ing in my own space with aban­don and clear­ing my head of all the ‘busy’ rush­ing thoughts that seem to invade my space.

Thanks for all your wis­dom that I am try­ing to make my wisdom.

Light, love and laugh­ter to you,
Jenny

Carla says

Great use of color and oh what fun but still ama­teur in appear­ance. Keep prac­tic­ing and don’t worry about what I said because it really doesn’t mat­ter what I think. That is what art is all about — it’s what you feel. In Woman with Spine, the lamp posts look like they are made of light weight mate­r­ial and won’t hold the large lamps. There is no solid­ity to them. Makes me want to reach in and catch them, but then again — this is what makes peo­ple talk and if they talk, well then you’ve done your job. It’s all in how you look at it.

lory says

like snow scene very much

Michael says

Hi Burt,
I like Sojourn by the Sea; its calm and peaceful,but all your paint­ings are good.I am retired but have never been busier as I have been research­ing and writ­ing a fam­ily his­tory for nine years which is now nearly fin­ished. When it is over I will return to my own paint­ing, usu­ally por­trai­ture, which I find relax­ing and reward­ing. I’m find­ing also that med­i­ta­tion calms and relaxes and puts one in a good frame of mind and so thank you for all your help.

Ewa says

Hi Burt,

Very nice paint­ings, espe­cially Woman with Spine and Night Cafe. I like your bright col­ors and light­ness.
Ewa

Jorge says

All are nice, but the one “woman with spine” has an orig­i­nal mix­ture of color. I have not learned to silence my mind long enough to med­i­tate, but I hope soon to be able to find peace within.

Leila says

Dear Burt, I do admire peo­ple who can express them­selves in a unique way which I feel you do. You have a unique take on things which is inter­est­ing. I do like the Night Cafe espe­cially as one of my all time favourites is Cafe Ter­race. You remind me that although we can’t all be Van Goghs (and in many ways wouldn’t want to be), we can still con­tribute mean­ing­fully and have fun doing it!

Mary Goss says

Hi Burt,
Thank you for shar­ing your beau­ti­ful paint­ings. I love them all but my favorite is the “snow scene” I also live in So.CA but grew up in Buffalo,NY so of course it reminds me of home and the peace­ful­ness of the falling snow as it falls qui­etly on the ground. I also like “Night Cafe”. My son and his wife are artist so I’m for­ward­ing your paint­ings to them to see what their favorites will be… I need to try harder to med­i­tate but it so dif­fi­cult for me. I do love to take walks on the beach or walk the path along the Mon­tage Hotel in Laguna Beach they have such beau­ti­ful land­scap­ing. Thank you again for shar­ing and please don’t ever stop all the won­der­ful work you do — you’re such an inspi­ra­tion!!
Love
Mary

Kim says

Hi Burt, you are so verci­tal in your art. I really love all of your work, so I felt strange in say­ing only one is a fav. I like Sojourn At the Sea and Woman With Spine. You defi­nately need to be writ­ten in the Artists col­lec­tor books so we all may admire your time­less beau­ti­ful work. So tal­ented and free with a brush to paint anything.

kathleen wear says

Good­morn­ing Burt, My favorite paint­ing is the snow scene. I live in Canada we get lots of snow and i love it. It is very peace­ful. Ilike espe­cially late at night when most of the city is sound asleep sit­ting with a hot cup of tea watch­ing the snow fall in the dark and glis­ten­ing on the ground very very beau­ti­ful. Another gor­geous gift from God. Thankyou for shar­ing your paint­ings with us. Have a fan­tas­tic day.

Annette says

DEAR BURT,
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR ART — I ESPECIALLY LIKE, “WOMAN WITH SPINE”, NOT BECAUSE OF WHO IT IS, BUT OF ALL THE CREATIVE EXPRESSION IT CONTAINS. IT IS SO UNIQUE AND SO..YOUR OWN. WHAT A CREATIVE MIND YOU HAVE.
GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH YOUR SHARING.….ANNETTE

Karen says

Dear Burt,
I love your “Woman with Spine” paint­ing. Very beau­ti­ful. I am a dancer and fre­quently see peo­ples’ bones/alignment when look­ing at my dance stu­dents or just people-watching. I paint too, so will share my work with you. Thank you, YOU INSPIRE ME! Love and Bless­ings, Karen

Lillian says

Dear Burt,
You are amaz­ing. I love what you are doing and I do like your paint­ings as well. The snow paint­ing is espe­cially lovely. It inspires me to get back to paint­ing myself. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your emails as well. They brighten my day.
Lil­lian from California.

Sonja Klein says

Hi Burt, you are a real artist. As a dutch woman, I recog­nise Dutch painters in your work. Not only Vin­cent van Gogh! Per­haps you were in one of our Musea, than you know what I mean. Beter and beter, Sonja

Rebecca Gardner says

Loves the win­ter paint­ing. I also paint and draw and do pho­tog­ra­phy and quilt and make beaded jew­lery I love crafts of all kinds. Love to cre­ate. Your friend Rebecca Gard­ner you can see my work on face­book too “Rebecca Seavey Gardner”

Lester says

Hi! Burt, Really enjoyed the paint­ings, you are really tal­ented. Also enjoyed the Mind boxes mate­r­ial. It brings back old mem­o­ries of my tour of the Far East while in the Marine Corps for the so called “Korean Police Action”. Also the 38 degree below zero tem­per­a­ture. In fact the dress of the peo­ple in the paint­ings looked like Korean garb. My favorites were the Night Cafe & the Snow Scene.

Ramona says

Burt,
I love the snow scene even is I live in Pa where I see snow every year. Also like the lady with a spine. I can under­stand the inspi­ra­tion.
Thank you for sharing

francis says

Dear Mr.Burt,
Thank you very much for shar­ing with me your beau­ti­ful paint­ings. Congratulations !

With love and prayers,

LAFFIE says

Dear Burt, I found your web­site about a month ago and I am truly inspired with your abil­ity to meld so many wis­dom teach­ings from so many cul­tures into a prac­ti­cal use­ful for­mat for our mod­ern age. Your urge to share who you are and what you have learned over your life­time is a won­der­ful exam­ple for the many young read­ers of your site. I am two months younger than you and you are help­ing me come to terms with who I am and what my legacy could be. I love Mind­box 1 and 2 and I am in the process of shar­ing your teach­ings with my friends and my fam­ily. I love all of your paint­ings but the one that really touched me is the por­trait of Woman with Spine. I hope some­one who knows Sarah Palin will let her know she is the inspi­ra­tion for this paint­ing. She has cer­tainly been an inspi­ra­tion to me and I admire her pas­sion and her authen­tic­ity. Thank you for reach­ing out to every­one in your unique, inim­itable way.
Love and Bless­ings, LAFFIE

Megha says

Diane Robertson says

Hi Burt,
You are reciev­ing the “Master’s Stroke” with your hobby.
I like the sea scenery but the “snow “‘[ which I do not have in Jamaica] is so peace­ful for meditation.I pre­fer this for a spir­i­tual uplift­ment.
You asked me about my hobby and that is “Gar­den­ing” I have a small plot of fruits and flow­ers.
Sin­cerely
Diane.

Jen says

What a plea­sure to see your work. Thanks for shar­ing them. I espe­cially am drawn to Woman With Spine. Beau­ti­ful and pow­er­ful piece. Also the snow scene is excep­tional. I live in Col­orado, so I’m very famil­iar with the snow and you cap­tured it per­fectly.
Relax­ing for me is being out­side walk­ing in the woods or even just sit­ting on a rock. Where ever I’m at, Mother Nature is always so kind and gen­er­ous to me. Thanks for all that you do , Burt.
Jen, Colorado

John Cardis says

Where do you live? A place that sel­dom rains and never snows? In the U.S.?

steph says

Hi Burt, Thank you for shar­ing your paint­ings with us. They are all so good but, for me, I like the last — The Snow Scene

Victoria says

Wow … your a man with so much tal­ent. I am impressed by your paint­ings i like most at the sojourn at the sea thats very relax­ing and of course at the night cafe… It’s a reflec­tion of peo­ple gath­ered together each one lost in his or her own thoughts.The word that you used is apt. Thank you very much for the pre­vilige you’ve given me to view your mas­ter piece.

More power!
Victoria

Kenneth says

All the paint­ing are very fine. Thanks for shar­ing these won­der­ful, relax­ing col­lec­tions of your work. I espe­cially enjoyed the After­noon At The Museum and Night Cafe.

Inspir­ing work!!
Kenneth

Liz says

What a priv­i­lege Burt, to see your paint­ings. Thank you so much. I like the After­noon at the Museum but my favourite is, Sojourn At The Sea. Can’t really explain why, but it has a feel­ing of yes­ter­year that is very ten­der. Your snow scene has really caught the mood but it’s my least favourite, as I live in Scot­land and it’s ruddy freez­ing at the moment. Thanks again Burt and keep well. All the Best frae “Bon­nie Scot­land”, love , Liz. xx

Linda K says

Hi Burt,

I like “Woman With Spine”. It gives me the impres­sion of a strong woman; yet I feel a trop­i­cal flair to the paint­ing which I really enjoy. Linda

hannah says

These are very nice and unique paint­ings. I would see some­thing like this gal­leries around the world.

virginia says

I really love Night Cafe, but they are all won­der­ful, as they remind me of my favourite painter Van Gogh. You´re such an artist Burt, thanks for sharing!!!

David Taube says

I really loved your paint­ings. Won­der­ful. My mother-in-law started paint­ing at age 75. She was still paint­ing at 95. She loved it. So, Burt keep at it.

Robert Pratt says

Burt you never yet failed to impress me. “After­noon At The Museum” is the one I like best. As for me I enjoy fish­ing and play­ing pool or darts. Stay in touch Burt…

With Great Respect

Alex Voznuyk says

Works of art are eval­u­ated accord­ing to sev­eral prin­ci­ples:
1. The name of the Mas­ter (espe­cially when the artist is dead) con­tributes greatly to the esti­mat­ing impres­sion of a piece of art.
2. Vital energy radi­at­ing from the pain­ing.
3. The civ­i­liza­tion ten­dency the pic­ture is con­nected with (the stage of human’s devel­op­ment often deter­mines the con­ven­tions in appre­ci­at­ing the pieces of art – the humankind evolves though phys­i­o­log­i­cal stages of sen­sual per­cep­tion of colour – from warm spec­trum to the cold one (just as an individual’s sen­sual organs develop).
In your case I clearly see and feel the vital energy vibrat­ing in the paint­ings which awakes our genetic mem­ory and returns us as back as the start­ing point of human civ­i­liza­tion.
Would U give your pic­tures in a big­ger size for us to have the oppor­tu­nity to com­pre­hend them more clearly.
Thanks a lot for the creations.

Katharine Welch says

These are won­der­ful — “After­noon At The Museum” if I had to choose one because it incor­po­rated the oth­ers — abso­lutly wonderful.

Bless you for all you do.

Gijs says

Hi Burt,

You’re a great val­lue producer.

Thank you very much for all the things you’re doing.

Peace, Love, Health,
Gijs.

Ovi says

Hi Burt,
Thanks for giv­ing me the oppor­tu­nity to com­ment on your action. You have totally dis appointed me. Your paint­ings did not reflect your char­ac­ter. Do you remem­ber your young days. or the days when you used to make water in the bed. Your mom used to laugh at you. My mom used to get anoyed.
I know you will not read my com­ments
So bye.

Rowena Agatha says

Hi Burt,

I like scener­ies but my favorite here is the Woman with Spine. I don’t know but when I saw it, it’s just like the paint­ing spoke to me. It is absolutely beautiful.

Chris A. Russell says

Dear Burt,
I like all of your paint­ings and that’s why I’m reg­is­ter­ing “After­noon at the Museum” as my favorite as it appears to be a com­pi­la­tion of all your art cre­ations.
What I like to do other than med­i­tate is to wel­come each new per­son into my expe­ri­ence and send them a covert bless­ing in pass­ing. I am cur­rently learn­ing a heal­ing modal­ity called yoga nidra/iRest that I’m teach­ing to the return­ing wounded war­riors here at Wal­ter Reed Med­ical Cen­ter in Wash­ing­ton, DC. Please know that I’ve both learned and enjoy your teach­ings.
Bless­ings,
Chris Rus­sell, MSW, PLCSW

Carlo says

I am impressed and appre­ci­ate this — the paint­ings are very good. I like the cafe and the snow…As I write this, I am watch­ing our first snow­fall today in Ontario, Canada.
As an actor/filmmaker the desire to paint has been with me for a long time — I guess it’s all part of the art and the visual stim­uli and the ther­a­peu­tic process of cre­at­ing it and it’s fun…I am grate­ful to have seen them and because you take the time to share.
Carlo

Nancy says

Hi Burt,

My favorite is Woman with Spine. It is strong and fear­less. She shows pas­sion and cre­ativ­ity emi­nat­ing from her aura. I feels like she is a healer or teacher and fully believes is her­self. What I do to relax is yoga or walk out­side weather per­mit­ing. I am learn­ing to be mind­ful where ever I am or what­ever I am doing. That is relax­ing in itself. I also favor the cafe. Van Gough is my favorite artist. Thank you for shar­ing your talent.

Celia M. Loyola says

Hi, Burt!
I like your paint­ings. I would like to paint but I do not
have the skill. Thank you for shar­ing them with us.

Steve Solomon says

Hello Burt.
Thanks for shar­ing your art­work! They are quite beau­ti­ful, and the Snow scene evokes pleas­ant mem­o­ries of my child­hood in New Jer­sey. For relax­ation and gen­eral health, I prac­tice Tai Chi and Baguazhang. I also play chess, but when at a tour­na­ment, and play­ing for a win, I wouldn’t call that too relax­ing! Please feel free to check out my pho­tog­ra­phy, which is also a form of relax­ation for me.
Best Regards,
Steve

fiona says

Well Burt you are a dark horse.

Arun says

Hi Birt,
Sojourn at the sea! Warm & lit up lamps with watch tower. Ever busy see & gaz­ing at the hori­zon. Its wonderful!

Roberto says

I like SOJOURN AT THE SEA,because I love the sea.
and besides med­i­tat­ing what relaxes me the most is look­ing at water even when it is just a glass of water.

Linda says

Hi Burt.…my favourite paint­ing was the woman with spine…I really liked that one but per­son­ally I would have named it differently…I paint in my spare time too…it is so relax­ing and I com­pletely loose my self within myself as I get so involved doing it…
Light, Love + Truth Linda

Prabhakar says

Hi Burt,

I think there is lot of mean­ing once can attach to the Woman’s Spine. Espe­cially the color com­bi­na­tions.
You may be know­ing about the color of the Chakras and the aura. It appears like you are try­ing to analyse the woman’s thought on the dias while speak­ing.
That has a message.

Regards
Prabhakar

Beau­ti­ful paint­ings Burt,thank you fr shar­ing them. I liked sojourn jour­ney, woman with spine and snow scene
Super, take care, veena

Scott says

Hi Burt

You have style and inspi­ra­tion to your paint­ings.
The woman with spine looks like lay­ers of Aura. Cool!
It does snow here in Canada so I am also par­tial to the snow scene.

As for relax­ing, I like to get away to a large park or a cabin in the woods. Some­place closer to nature where I can appre­ci­ate the cre­ations and beauty of this planet.

Thank you for your con­tri­bu­tions to art, mind and soul.
Scott

Hans says

Hi Burt
Thank you fo shar­ing. I’m very impressed that you can bring some­thing like this around in so short times­pan.
The snowre­minds me of my ear­lier life in Den­mark.
Now I live on Gran Canaria where there def­i­nitely is no snow.
But here we play a lit­tle bil­lard every week so the restau­rant pic­ture reminds me of my daily life.
Thank you.

hans says

Nice paint­ings Burt, I seem to be an odd man out, I like the Sojourn at the Sea best. Strong lines and faded colours. Great. Take care, Hans

Kevin O`Callaghan says

Tarek says

Very nice art Burt…

I like the ” Night Cafe ”

It feal warm inside and content.

So beau­ti­ful

Jerry says

Nice paint­ings. I like the whim­si­cal brush strokes and color. Only one of the paint­ings did not appeal to me, so 3 out of 4 is pretty good.

Ed says

Hi Burt,

Many thanks for shar­ing some of your impres­sive paint­ings with us. I like them all but the snow scene is a spe­cial one as it reminds me glimpses of my inno­cent childhood…

Please take care. Love

linda tizon says

Hi Burt,

Wow!!!! I’m so impressed, they are all very beau­ti­ful. I like most the one in snow. So cool, relax­ing. Besides, in my coun­try (Philip­pines) we don’t have snow here. We only have 2 sea­sons; Dry (sum­mer) & rainy sea­son. I wish to expe­ri­ence how snow falls and walk on snow grounds. Next, I like your After­noon at the Museum.

Amanda says

Hey Burt,

Thank you so much for shar­ing your paint­ings, they are beau­ti­ful. Just loooove the Night Cafe one and the snow scene, feels like I’m there.

Hope you’ll have lots more to share

Love, Light & Bless­ings

Pilar says

reminds me much van Gogh. Impres­sion­ist style. Trans­mit mes­sage of an atmos­phere. They have the euro­pean flair.Congratulations you have even found time to paint and give the world a win­dow to your dreams !

ps. we met here in Vienna/Austria 10 yrs ago. I learned incred­i­ble things from you .and i do apply them with very much suc­cess. thanks Burt !

Torsten says

Hi Burt,

I am impressed, very nice paint­ings!
These paint­ings are rally relax­ing, espe­cially the “snow” one — it spreads a very nice calm atmos­phere.
I lit­er­ally can hear the quite falling of the snow…
Look­ing for­ward to see more.

Hi Burt,

My favourite is Night Cafe.It’s a reflec­tion of peo­ple gath­ered together each one lost in his or her own thoughts.The word that you used is apt.Futility.A place where peo­ple meet but still there is an emptiness.A void in their lives.Besides med­i­tat­ing my stress reliev­ers are my two dogs.I talk to them.Hug them.They are part of my life and that relaxes me.
Take care Burt and thanks for shar­ing Face­book with me.

Danne says

Hi Burt ~

Nice! I love the snow scene. Reminds me of home and how I loved when the snow fell and accu­mu­lated on the ground, mak­ing for a great day of doing noth­ing, just being still. Thanks for shar­ing some of your work. My idea of relax­ing is bead­ing. Tak­ing tiny lit­tle beads and mak­ing some­thing out of them. Amaz­ing how cre­at­ing some­thing and being present are relax­ing and mind­less all at the same time. I would have to say that for me it is my favorite form of med­i­ta­tion … I always end up in the “zone”, start­ing out with one bead and no idea what it will end up as … los­ing all track of time …
