  7. Hello. I heard you on Coast to Coast. Just wanted to leave you with my impression of your artwork. First of all, it is very disturbing. Very intense. It makes me uncomfortable. As an artist, I know that none of these feelings is negative criticism. Art should move people, so I think your work is successful in that way.

    I stared at this painting for a few minutes when this thought came to me. Perhaps your painting is a premonition of Donald Trump's election, that people feel stripped of their individual dignity, or that our Mexican brothers and sisters fear "the wall," or deportation.

    So, yeah. I think your painting is about Trump's election and how it makes many people feel.

    Hope it never manifests.

  8. Haunting! I feel it is a scene similar to the Holocaust. Being of a prophetic nature, I think it is the future elimination of the masses the elite/NWO have planned. Unlike the one who fears Trump, it is the plan of the liberals who want everyone to think like them and we become non-thinking empty robots whose very soul is stolen away. But I think it is more spiritual then political.... terror, fear and death....end of days

  9. Hi, I also heard you on Coast to Coast. I love your painting! It is disturbing, but that doesn't bother me. I often have the feeling that I need to paint something that has the same feeling. Not that image, but the feeling it evokes. I guess I'm just too scared to do it. Thank you very much for sharing.

  10. Heard you on Coast to Coast this morning while on my way from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Your description on the show was spot on. Your dream painting is haunting at first glance but, notice you have light and open sky in the distance... Is the opening getting larger - taking the despair away from the people? Is light coming into their lives? Just my thought.

  11. Interesting this reminds me of people traveling on "The Trail of Tears" an exodus to a much better life...although their faces show emotions, like why is this happening to our people?

  13. I heard you on Coast to Coast. Thank you for sharing. These paintings are all very touching, much in the way poetry pours out onto paper but with a visual interpretation. This is a great medium of expression. I believe I remember you saying this has been 17 years in the making on this particular Painting Utopia Road.

    For those who were searching for this gentlemans own interpretation, I was able to find it deeper on this site several pages in.

    "The painting is a cautionary tale about the domination of our society and the loss of our freedom loss of hope and our human propensity for slavery , greed and genocide. The mystery is what they are looking at and where they are going."

    Thanks again for sharing.

  15. Love your work. Puts me in mind of the German Expressionists. To me this painting depicts the human condition. In our nakedness, we are wide-eyed and shuffling through this world. We don't belong here - this is not our element. At our core we are like fish out of water...

  16. Went on a road trip in 2017 and bought a mug from y’all. Was drinking out of it and got a compliment- so I told the story of how you showed me and my friends this picture! My boyfriend ended up doing an art project of you- I told him to mail you the photos but wasn’t sure if he ever did. I still talk to everyone about this painting all the time! Hope all is going well!
