Amy, for a few years I left this video on “private” and didn’t share it, i don’t know what I was thinking. Your response alone would make it worthwhile to create it if it didn’t exist. Heartfelt thank you.
I took your advice and pinned it to my homepage just now. I am not supposed to say this, and many think I should not even think it, (hubris) but I feel the way you describe my work. It is like feeling love all the time…still I have to be careful because it is circular, creating the work, then loving the work as if someone else made it. It is so much better to share and reach people who are intensely moved by it—that has a profound sense of truth, that I can’t get through self-reflection. So thank you from my heart.
Your work is so awe inspiring, I love this video, set to beautiful music. Your portraits are astonishing (it all is, really) but you really capture the people’s essence in their portraits. I love the drawings and seeing your pieces come together. Thank you so much for sharing it.
It is the first time I have seen a painter with knowledge and depth showing me the possibility of translating my figurative sculptures/models as I would see them in paint or as I would paint, if I could.
I’m watching your interview on Ayn Rand with host. My bronze 9’ IBIS was on the cover of Rand Mag gobs of years ago.
USC/UCLA same verbal deterrents as I created my second portrait …. I ignored them and kept my fingers in my clay. 1972. Then 8 countries. Pietrasanta a decade. Try to find my Bianco Puro di Carrara Persephone.(don’t know how to go into my photo files on SS)
Here in Paris trying to create a sculpture in honor of 12 massacred cartoonist and friends of Charlie Hebdo. Not easy.

Wow. Your art, and the video itself are beautiful. Congrats
Thank you very much Rolando!
Beautiful…but then I would have expected nothing less, Michael 💙💫
Thanks Joyce, I think that is my first time hearing “I would have expected nothing less.” Kind of cool in the sense sharing a consistent level.
Well, you do share a consistent high level of art, so anything below that level would have surprised me.
You are a superb portrait artist and light. Loved the video and music. Do you use a photo for some because the pose obviously cant be maintained?
Thank you, I saw the chair, I see the connection thank for sharing it!
Thank you.

Speechless 😶 I'm awestruck by your talent Michael. Loved seeing your work to this music ✨
I just took huge inhale of fresh mountain air, and let the compliment wash over me. Thank you @Deborah T. Hewitt !
Ahhh. I feel it. Your work is gorgeous, intimate, rich in depth, and those portraits, stunning ✨
Have a great weekend in that mountain air Michael 😘
NOW THAT is magical art at it’s finest! Wow you Michael, excellent! Bravo! 👏♥️👏
Love that Charlotte, thank you! <3
My pleasure @Michael Newberry of course!

Exceptional.
Thank you.
