5 pages of LOVE

I had the wonderful opportunity to display some of my artwork at Cedar Roe Library in Roeland Park, Kansas during the months of October and November. I tell you what, people were so thoughtful for leaving comments and other feedback on my art exhibit!! I was beyond ecstatic when I got to read what visitors wrote.

WOW! 5 pages of compliments!

Here are a few comments:

"Beautiful work, vibrant color. Love the urban feel and the illustration."

"I Love it! So street looking. I would love to see this on big buildings!!!

"What a gift! Beautiful fluid lines! My fave is the peacock- keep producing, keep showing!"

"Really like the flow of your pieces!"

"Very heartful and dazzling. Thoughtful and powerful!!!!"

"¡Me gusto la exhibicion! El artista es muy talentoso!" (Translated:: "I like the exhibition! The artist is very talented!")

"Very beautiful! I wish I could afford to buy the whole collection! (Or even one)" :)

"These are so great- We love 'Masquerade' and 'Lyrical Dawn'"

Here's what my display looked like: 

 I'm deeply humbled at the public's response to my artwork. This feeling never gets old- every one of my art exhibit experiences has a profound impact on me and the way I present my work for the public. I want to THANK every single person who stopped to view and leave comments for me! I will cherish your words forever ;)

After reading these comments, I felt a message dwelling inside that, I believe, is worth speaking about. Please take a few minutes of your time to leave a positive message for someone. You never know what they may be going through. Most importantly, YOU may be the one person they've come across who shows true compassion and / or generosity, that day. Your words can and will make a positive impact on someone's life. Don't just think about it- DO IT!

Enjoy the holiday and keep letting that light of yours shine, my friend!
