You are welcome to my art show
If you are in Massachusetts next month then I hope
you will look in on my art show

It keeps cabin fever away for me to paint what I dream about all the time -
sailing in Maine. Ugh! Seventeen weeks to launch.

Do not quit your day job.
Do not quit your day job.
Dominic,
I quitted my dayjob (software engineering) four years ago.
This was a retirement at age 62. There is a big qualitative difference between
painting full time and dabbling.

Play Nice
Now Domenic, play nice. Just because something may not appeal to your sense of aesthetics doesn't mean it's not worthy of display. A lot of people don't like Stravinsky, Charles Ives, Poulenc, or Arvo Part; all composers I hold in high regard. I for one particularly liked the "Mast Lights". Nice work, Mike.

Re: Play Nice
Now there's a man after my own heart, and with very wide-ranging tastes, too. A New England polytonal prig, an Eastern European mystic, and a gay Frenchman. I wouldn't put them all together in a Typhoon, at least without restraints.Carl Thunberg wrote: A lot of people don't like Stravinsky, Charles Ives, Poulenc, or Arvo Part; all composers I hold in high regard.
Mike, I really enjoyed looking at your art. I was just at the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a couple of months ago. Your swirling, slightly surrealistic technique reminds me of his stuff in general (especially the way you render skies), and the Fireboat in Portland Harbor reminds me strongly of his painting of beached fishing boats in Arles.
Beautiful work.
Best regards,
Carter

Very nice
Mike, I enjoyed your paintings, very Homer-esque, if you don't mind my drawing comparisons. I had an uncle who painted as well, growing up on Kauai, then later in NYC where he taught art at the Brooklyn Museum for 40 years. He spent his summer on Monhegan Island, painting land and seascapes. He was influenced, as were many others I'm sure, by Winslow Homer. There are many similarities between some of your work and my uncle's (Reuben Tam). By the way, he kept his day job, too, but managed to do quite well in both.
Aloha,

Very nice~
I particularly liked "Slick." The swirling colors ARE quite van Gogh-esque in that one.

I am Very Sorry Mike
I was just joking. Your art is beautiful. You are Dancing a Pas de Deux of Emotion in your paintings. My apologies, Domenic

Thanks for posting this--nice work!
Mike,
I really enjoyed looking at your online display. Since I live very close to Concord, I'll try to get to see the exhibit in person.
Best of Luck,
