It smacks of Van Gogh without the insanity, but the creative use of color. The building looks old and run down, standing on the edge of a large body of water. Building has no apparent access from the land or sea, is this a projection of the artist's self? Inaccessible? An island? Also, the land and building colors are grays, somewhat colorless, as if the building is an extension of the land into the beautiful ocean and sky. Is this also a projection of the artist's self, as attached to the land from which he is trying to separate, but is unable to completely. I wonder if the artist sees himself, deep in his soul, as just barely touching upon the greatness of beauty and spiritual essense? Painting is very attractive.

This is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time Hello.

It is the place of my dreams where I want to be in my old age. I pray I will have the same tranquillity then, as the one you painted here.

It has such a healing effect. I would love to see my life in such a glow. It is also a reflective piece with the water all around it. This is great to see an inspiration come along for someone, and see the effect of this transpire. I have personally only stumbled on you, and your work as a monk. I need all of the help i can get right now with my path in life. And hope to here more from you. Joan Bryant Dear Burt,
