the "WOW" factor

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
--Henry Ward Beecher

Considering this quote, I understand why I'm just a little nervous about the attention my work has been recieving recently.

Without a doubt, I am deeply appreciative of this attention and the feedback. I am honoured that there are people who enjoy my work. I feel almost overwhelmed!

Here is my soul and my nature poured onto 120lb paper, defined in graphite, immortalised in paint, locked in by ink - laid open.
