  1. I really like these pictures, show love to your country,
    but in an unobtrusive way.
    The way of painting is of a modern style featuring pop art. I remember the great American artist Robert Rauschenberg.
    I wish you recover soon your shoulder injury.

  2. The mixed media painting is you at your best! A wonderful statement of patriotism. Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Don't fool around with it for too long like I did my knee. Fix it and get on with your beautiful work. Hugs, a painting buddy.

  6. Both of these are very emotional pieces. Nice!!!

    You must have had quite an injury to your shoulder to be out of commission for so long. Hope you are on the mend and will be back creating your art soon.

  9. Wow! Those paintings are brilliant. The strokes are all constant and well established. Although your shoulder injury doesn't really affect your artworks, I'm still worried about the pain you're feeling. I just hope that you find the time to consult a chiropractor for your condition. Feel better soon, Michael! Thanks for sharing that, and all the best!
