The gracious flight of the bird and the water styling make this a very fine piece.

Michael Forbus
Artist Reply: Lior, although our styles have some differences about them, I think our desire to create things that people love to look at is the same. In saying that, I have to tell you that I love looking at your work, it is stunning and so brilliantly done. So for you to like my work as well is a great honor. And I thank you deeply.

Michael Forbus
Artist Reply: Karen, we will be talking and I will be seeing all that marvelous work of yours. I really am so sincerely impressed by the magnitude of your talent. It is so fantastic and your choice of subjects is the same as mine on occasion. You are so perfect at that style of yours. I am so impressed. Come to Florida sometime and take a swim or a boat ride. I just love the ocean. My best wishes and I have a few more weeks to move. So we will be seeing some more of each other's work. God bless you and know that your talent is so unleashed and wonderful.

Beautiful work, love the blues in the water, a lovely touch to the work. I am so happy you are going back to your roots and family. I had a feeling you might be going there again. I know how dear your family is to you and that your move wasn't as you had hoped it be. May your spirit fly safely back into the arms of those you have been missing. May your soul drink back up the sun and joys of family and Florida! I am so happy for you! Don't forget to find a place to grow your beautiful flowers.

Michael Forbus
Artist Reply: Terry, my deepest thanks to you for your most kind words and sincerity. You have been a constant joy for me to see your work and your excitement at discovery and I am not leaving this site. I am just going to gather some more material and have some nice warm swimming which I really miss and try and find another boat that I can live on as I had in Florida a few years back. I loved that life and my lovely daughters and Mom and Sis. Just a short drive away from the project I will be working on. So we will always meet on the site and show each other our new works and chat the same as always. Love you and all my affection to you great family. Michael

uh oh, just wait 'til Emily sees this...you know how she loves flying bird photos! Your interpretation is marvelous Miguel. Flying looks effortless here. Furthermore, my brother lives on the Gulf coast. It is beautiful there this time of year.

Michael Forbus
Artist Reply: Ms. Emily does love those flying birds or as my sister calls birds rodents with feathers. I don't feel the same. She never liked my big birds because they bit her once. I love a talking bird. Fascinating. Thank you dear heart for your kind and sweet observations of my work. If your brother lives near the St. Pete area, we could all have a nice lunch if you visit. Press the flesh a bit as they say in the trade. Thanks so much and I can't wait to take a dip in the Gulf. My best to you, good friend and have a lovely nite nite and no painting till dawn. My affection and dream of remarkable things. Michael

I, for one, will be looking forward to seeing more orchids. Enjoy your trip and some shrimp and fresh Key Lime Pie while you prepare for your next series of work.

Michael Forbus
Artist Reply: Jean, you look for a new orchid tomorrow. I will paint one for you., I have just the genus in mind. A lovely lavender might suit you....I can't wait to get back to the Tropics. Love the mountains if they just had an ocean close by. I will eat some of those lovely Gulf shrimp in you behalf in about 2 weeks or so, I will be on the coast. Thanks for writing, I sure appreciate it and have a most lovely night and tomorrow. Michael
