When my art transends everything and causes my insides to shine

   Sometimes, someone comes along and hears what the painting is whispering to them, like good spirits that are trying to get through to our earthly realm. I am very fortunate that I create work that causes these wonderful things. 
   Sometimes, this painter feels like his insides are like a shining sun. 
   Life can be so extraordinary that it feels like a rare and magic gem, a new kind of precious stone, that carries something so powerful. This piece, Winter Joy, caused me a great joy. It'll be going far away to a distant land, to live with a very intelligent individual. How beautiful this is.
   The spirits, the good ghosts that seem to visit me when I paint, smile on me this day. I thank the collector of this painting and these beautiful ghosts.
