Beautiful work... I also loved the story behind this so thank you for sharing!

Artist Reply: Danielle, my gratitude for your kind words. I really appreciate your comments. It was a load of fun living in the house and I have since met the new owners. Very Nice. My thanks to you. Michael

It's a beautiful house.

Artist Reply: Vishwas, my gratitude to you for the very kind statements about the house. The people below you in this comments area are the present owners and they are so kind and gracious. The phone number is on the Artist Reply if you would ever like to stay there. Just call. It is a bed and breakfast. Thanks so much for your kind remarks. Michael

Michael, the rendition of our home is magnificent.. The colors are bright and jubilant. This is the best artist representation I have seen of our home and thank you sincerely for your history and honoring of this historic property. Regards John and Julie Van Woy

Artist Reply: John and Julie, I just got off the phone with Julie who are the present owners of this wonderful home and they are wonderful people. They have two guest cottages on the property that are B and B's and it is still as lovely and sweet as when I lived there. Julie has heard the stories of my paramour when I lived there and it is an exquisite home. Julie is most inviting and if you care to visit this lovely town please do call them. You are sure to be stunned by it's beauty and open arms of Julie and John. It was certainly my pleasure to talk to Julie and the phone number to reach them if you have the urge is 800-738-9545. John my highest gratitude for your lovely comments and gracious words. Best of luck to you always. Michael Forbus

Beautiful work, Michael and congrats on being featured!!! :-)

Artist Reply: Anne, thank you so much. That is a first for me and a surprise. I had no idea that they did that. I thought it was just and arbitrary rotation. My thanks to you, a great artist, for your continued support and kindness. Michael

Oh how lovely!!!.. so southern in charm!!!.. wonderful work Hun!!!

Artist Reply: Monique, this house when I lived in it was such a beauty. We would sit on the wrap around porches and follow the sun and in the evening drink Maker's Mark mint juleps and watch the sun go down and listen to the crickets. A lovely life. Thanks so much for you continued kindness. I really appreciate it. Michael

Very beautiful and outstanding work Michael in every way. The story is also an interesting one.

Artist Reply: Thea, so nice to hear from you again. I hope this note finds you well and happy. I am living a life of solitude in the mountains and working on some projects. Thank you so much for your kind words and I have missed writing to you and seeing your lovely work, so I am back at it. I have finished some of my projects and now have the time. I still live in the town where the house is and once in a while I drive by it to bring back great memories. My best to you and pray that you are doing well. Michael

Thanks Steve, I currently live in the same town where I owned a bar and nightclub, sort of an off the grid joint where many memories were made and many forgotten. Love this town of Eureka Springs Ar. in the Ozark Mountains. Thanks for your kind words. Michael

Steve Farr 03 Sep 2007

bert cortes 02 Sep 2007

Nicee photo and home, Michael

Emily Reed 02 Sep 2007

LOOKS LIKE OAK ALLEY! GREAT OLD MANSION!

Artist Reply: It was a lovely place to live. Almost every night we had Maker's Mark mint juleps before dinner. A lovely time in my life. Thanks for your kindness. Michael

Sharon Henson 02 Sep 2007

Great piece of art and story....

Artist Reply: Sharon, she is one of the 100's of Victorian beauties in this town. You must, when redecorating or renovating, do it in the style of Victoriana. It is a law. Sometimes there are laws I like. The house was magnificent and I was blessed to live there. The wines, I cannot believe someone so rich as not to move them or perhaps just wealthy enough to buy what he pleased. My thanks to you, Michael
