How can his paintings invoke all physical senses? His gift is so refined. I think the four really belong together; they're almost like a "four seasons" adventure.<br /><br />Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-39686877238335258042013-05-19T06:17:40.295+01:002013-05-19T06:17:40.295+01:00Hello AC.

The paintings are lovely, I particularly like the Rickshaw one, there's such a light touch to them, I've always worked in thick oils or acrylics, I'm heavy of hand I guess, so it's good to see works like this. :)All Consuminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089119991474852732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-203409408836643722013-05-16T06:20:11.461+01:002013-05-16T06:20:11.461+01:00Hi David.
