I wish…Craig! Thanks for you kind appreciations. I also have a very high opinion about Vincent’s reed drawings!

I ran accross your highly interesting work at R. Genn. Came to your blog and spent the morning saturating myself with this fascinating work.

I aggree that Van Gogh’s sketches are sublime. To me they are more interesting in some ways than his paintings. What he accomplishes with his reed pen is so expressive. I only began painting late (very late) in life. Before I was a folk blues musician, but painting has hijacked all creative flow and channelled it to itself. I love your different techiniques, energy, and writings, and rhythmic lines. If you are not a musician, you could be.

Multzumesc frumos, barbu (HORIA barbu?!)!
Am vizitat linkul si pozele sunt foarte interesante…mi-au trezit multe amintiri si nostalgii… 8 ani din tineretzea mea s-au consumat pe plaiurile Sacadatzii… de unde, de altfel, se trage bunicul dinspre tata…

Fara legatura, m-am impiedicat de niste poze vechi din Sacadate, poate va intereseaza:

I agree completely that the sketch book provides great clues about the artist and what makes him or her tick.

I love your sketches. They are gestural and possess loads of character!
