This is me <
Recently someone here compared themselves to Davinci,.... and made some comments on my gallery that were subtly antagonizing ....
I build 200 mile an hour+ roll cages for race cars .... and design front suspensions for hot rods .... castor camber and antidive / bumpsteer and ackerman... bet he's lost now!!!! And I Paint!!! And I aint no Davinci.... And never will be .... Let's keep things in perspective!!!!

Don't know a thing about roll cages or hot rod suspensions but I do like your art work.

Well Tom, While you may not consider yourself a DaVinci, You are one heck of a painter and from what I just read, a very talented person overall. It is my pleasure to have seen AND experienced your art. Keep up the great work my friend.

Tom, I love your studio, and that is a fine photo. It now gives a human feeling to your paintings. I mean, I can now see your hand painting. Strange comment, I know. As for Davinci, who cares. I've never seen anyone who looks like the people in his art. What is in your paintings is what is in your heart and soul. That is so fantastic, and makes every painting a gift that any viewer can receive, if they have eyes and a open heart. Thank you so much for sharing your art, a part of yourself. It is priceless! Speaking of fast cars...I just saw a photo of the Austin Martin One-77. My heavens! It is a beauty!

Tom you are an excellent artist I really enjoy your paintings so very much!! Those comments are just to ignore. See what happened to me? I even let them make me take my gallery down...I don't know what is happening here anymore but it is actually very sad! I for one will always be looking forward to viewing more of your work!!

Tom, I let a few things get at me a little early on here...then somebody reminded me that this is my gallery...anytime you show your art, somebody is going to detract for their own purposes. I do aim to please but now that's secondary. I for one want to see you here for a long, long time to come. Thumbs up!!!

To the anonymous person who created his alias stevemaddocks today.. Vicious or not vicious, stable or not stable, whatever. An artist can be whatever he want: "the divine genius overrides everything". Tomorrow whatever Tom's condition he will still be an artist. And you will still be a small-minded, petty and envious person. Not fair? Sorry.

Tom, you are a great artist, and a great person. Frequently the creativity comes from a huge and deep sensibility, and tis gifted quality somentimes cause too deep storms and strong feelings. Each true artist knows the power of the passion, and this is a good thing, sometimes painful. Even the eagles suffer when the sparrows try to hurt them, but they are eagles, and fly higer. It is not easy to explain me well in english, but this is my message. Vintorix has expressed all better than me, the divine genius overrides everything. No one with true personality wants to be like other person, DaVinci made his works and are impressive, but I could´nt use his works as a meditation like I have used yours. Genius is every soul that try to fly over and reach high skies. You have done my friend. As I live in Europe I can see a saturation of paintings and valuable historic artist works everywhere here; but, believe me, I have gone to your gallery many times last weeks and I have experimented more great feelings and artistic fruition. I have enjoyed more seeing your paintings that seeing hundred of famous works of art. What is fame? Nothing at all, a place over a wall on the street? The wall in every soul is the true museum, and you have inside me all of your paintings. Congratulations!

There are people that the only weapon they have to be important is to ruin the other ones instead of working to be better. Some days ago in this same place happened something similar with another artist and then I told him: You are a great artist don't let them win. I tell you the same thing . We can admit comments that they go directed to obtain improvements in our work but we should disregard those that the one thing that they attempt is mocking of us or ruining our works. If we did not listen to them and keep on working they will disappear. Thank you Tom for sharing your work with us.

Hello Vincent ! Here in America they say: He is just great... in Europa one says: He is just a fool... Merry greetings from Leonardo

My beloved tom, you are much more smarter than he. The fool is just jealous. It doesn't take a genius to manipulate a photo, but to create art by your own hand is an exquisite gift that God gave you. I love you so much and obviously so do a lot of other people by the comments and support they have given you, another gift from God! So keep on creating my dear husband and NEVER look back! I LOVE YOU!! Your wife, Trina P.S. I can't wait for the rest of the gang to see your next project, by far it is going to be my favorite! At least until the next one!!!
JOEANOMALY
Well ya did lose me with the amber castor oil and ackerman's anchovy bumsters, but you paint pretty darn good ( besides Da Vinci hasn't done much, lately). Please, keep showing us, your talent and skill!!!!! Nice pic of your studio, too.

Woooooooooaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh !!! Holy F&^(&%^% S878979!!!! Who, what, where, when, how, why? Don't know, don't care....It's obvious there is plenty of love here for you Tom! Don't fall into the trap of being concerned what ANYONE says...including me...and I honestly love you as a person and your work......JEEEEEEEEZZZZ people this is not a competition.....this is a place to share our hopes, dreams and fears through our chosen mediums...ONE is not better than another.....We are all created equal....it's just after that moment everything changes Seriously I love you all no matter what you say about me...or Tom.. or anyone...people say things before they know what they say......Forgive and forget and we will all be able to move on to higher ground...Hold grudges and we are all stuck... As for me...I wish the best for everyone and hope you find your own peace of my mind. I am proud to call myself your friend... All of you.... What if a man is to have all the world's riches but no one to share them with. This to me is hell... And i prefer heaven everyday... Thank you so much for sharing, Tom.... and know I always got everybody's back!!!!! God bless everyone!!!!!!!!

Cool shot of you and your studio. It's great to see the scale that you're working on. I didn't see the negetive comments that were made but I wouldn't let them get to you. The best response is to just keep creating you fantastic work and keep on posting them. All the best, JoeE

three_grrr
dunno what nasties were said, but seems to me if a person doesn't like someone's work, what were was that person doing in that gallery? So Stevie old boy, go play in the litterbox and stay out of the galleries. Tom, it's nice to see where my tormentor works, BIG GRINS!!
kasalin
Tom you are an excellent artist I really love your paintings very much !!! 5* Hugs Karin :):):)

I think you are a very fine painter. I can't paint at all so I admire folks like you and my brother who can take drawing materials and turn them into a work of art. Keep something in mind, Mike and Leo wouldn't have been to do paintings in your unique style. Never mind the critics. There are always people who like to talk about how much better they are than anyone else. Oh, and a good studio self-portrait, too!
sossy
hiya Tom, nice to see you! wave ignore it, you know who you are! other bla bla is brainless! ;o)

Hi there....very nice to meet you....!!!
