    John, your work hits a spot that I thought had died within me. This is real art, thank God for your work. I could write more. Some of it reminds me of a confidence I once had, but unlike me, you seem to be the real deal in painting. I am reminded of Rosenberg’s work, which I loved and saw in the Tate in the early 70’s but was IMHO was never fully resolved. I do not mean to suggest that your work is simply retro or derivative, no indeed; but we all stand in a historical tradition, even if only to break from it. Your work has power. Do not fritter this tallent. Phil (Wales).

      Thanks very much. ‘Motion’ is an apt description.

    John, this is a fantastic piece. I love the composition as well as the color – especially the red that runs down. I also work with no fixed destination in mind. Besides, every time I try to it never works out the way I had planned! Your work is great. Good luck with the exhibit!

      Thanks for your kind comment and good wishes for the show. Yeah dripped paint is a regular feature of my work. I find it keeps things exciting never to have a fixed destination!

    So much depth to this art work, John. It’s just wonderful to explore. i have to say, as someone who has loved Boxers all my life, and owned them for many years, that silhouette for the gallery just catches me eye. 🙂 Your work is much more subtle and complex, so it wins. 🙂 Good luck with the show!

    John- I am still gathering a pile of odds and ends to send to you one of these days. I haven’t forgotten. Beautiful, lovely, moving work as always- hope your solo show (a belated CONGRATULATIONS!!) went splendidly well, though I have no doubt it did. 🙂
