So fun!David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678510662517034889.post-42138828878765076102011-12-17T17:24:00.262-08:002011-12-17T17:24:00.262-08:00I am always happy to post the first comment on suc...I am always happy to post the first comment on such great work.<br />I love your subject matter and your painting ability!<br />I also very much enjoy urban scenes and seascapes. Probably from growing up in Boston with a tremendous view of the harbor. I also love trains and I know that is because my dad used to work for the New Haven Railroad back in the day. I can definitely see the "real content" in your work David. It is full of emotion and a deep love and respect for your subject matter.<br />Please excuse and old hippy expression from the sixties when I say to you from the bottom of my heart!<br />"Right on!"art by Michael Perchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767323223269323935noreply@blogger.com
