The Color in your Soul enters this universe to delight us all.
This color has no end. It glows with gold and silver light as the alchemists knew. Fixing itself in the atmosphere for all to see.
It breathes on your canvas for all of us to delight both young and old.
You are the Master of sifting, pulling forging a New Destiny of Painting a new way to go forward a new way for us to see.
Opening the eyes to Paradise, your powerful and delicate vision has penetrated all who dare to see.
Behold the gift of Eternity in Your Painting.
Thornton Willis, SPLIT END, 1984. Cardboard, acrylic on canvas, 84 x 84 inches.
