Paul Cézanne still life study

There is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force infusing all of life--including ourselves.

I absolutely love Still Life #6! There is something about it which makes me think of jewelry.

Perhaps it is just the season, but, as much as I liked the next four, I just couldn't help thinking of Easter eggs.

Don, your work has gotten better, improved since last time I saw it, that's awesome! I hope you don't take that the wrong way, because I liked it before, too, and never noticed anything wrong with it, but I noticed something really striking about where your work is going, about the quality of poetry/emotion in these pieces and your technique, or style seems more mature, like you hit the core of something. How much to draw, paint? Your work has a really nice quality to it, like you are at home with it.
Very lovely to be here now with you sharing this process. Thank you for inspiring me.
Love Mercy

These are great! I really love still life #6. Your use of color is fabulous. You have such a unique style, and such a fresh outlook on a sometimes tired subject (stilll lifes). You continue to push yourself and tackle different subjects and approaches. I admire you for that, and it inspires me to do more!
At the reception Fri, I talked to the woman who bought your painting from the Cat's Meow show. She was talking about how much she loves to look at it, and how happy it makes her feel. That, to me, is the essence of art.

Dear Don,

I really liked your still life's. They almost had the feel of the South Sea islands about them; food that people would eat as well as paint. Nicely done.
