Dear Peter,Great use of colour and brush strokes!!! You need an agent. Thanks for all your help and support!The Professor
My dear Peter,It appears that you can make it around the Flooded Road. The light is beyond what you see, and you may even see it in your children. I did however make it to paradise. In the Blue.Louiggi,Agent,Representing Mr. MoffattP.S..... Happy Easter.
Je n'ai jamais vu d'aussi belles peintures de sous-bois, et les quelques marines sont tout aussi somptueuses!!!!
When I think of how unrepresented, undepicted Canada is still, I feel sooooo lucky to be there. Thank you for adding to the kaleidoscope of this land in such a magnificent way.All the best and more!
