A beautiful, touching painting. Sending you and your wife my best wishes, strength and brighter tomorrows. Hi Bill,

Ambera , Thanks Kathy, that's just what I was thinking as I painted it. Frank, a comparison to Hopper is always welcome. Bob, thanks for visiting. I'm glad these pieces spoke to you E-J, I think it does make a difference to paint something that's real for you. Thanks for your encouragement. Bonnie, sorbet - I like that.

A "real painting"? THIS is real. It's a beautiful little oil and the subject matter is strikingly original. It also manages to communicate everything you've put into words in this post. Wow.

They are rich with real (authentic) feelings. This painting in particular is so right on in what it communicates to me. Bill

I agree with Kathy on the colors. Hope all is well. Something oddly Hopper like about this one Bill. I agree with Kathy on the colors.

The colors are soothing, reminiscent of the colors they use on purpose in places like that to put patients at ease, but the rumpled paper sheet and that mass of high-tech equipment at left create an edgy undercurrent. Maybe it's just that we know what's going on for you, maybe it's personal experience too. But you got it. It's there.

Great little study here Frank, and good way to disarm the bomb, so to speak. I'm right there with you on those thoughts of exam rooms. Once again, your palette is delicious- more like a sorbet parlor than examination room #4.
