I love your work! This is great Avery. This artist is a relatively NEW artist and he has claimed that he is not seriously doing a Zen-like thing to nature as do the Chinese. His attempt to imitate the Chinese art without understanding the unique spirituality and culture which lie beneath has been noted as being quite unusual as is the choice here. -- from -Sharon your neighbor

Very nicely done Avery. Did you also know, he was a very influential painter and writer, Mondrian went on to create his own "ism" - "neoplasticism". Piet Mondrian defined neoplasticism as a quest for transcendent spiritual experience through an attempt to reduce art to its simplest, clearest form. He sought pure harmony and equilibrium, and believed highly simplified art could model a harmonious ideal world. You have a great teacher who mixes lessons with sprituality. I like that. -- from Your friend and neighbor, Sharon

His interest in evangelical Christianity and ministering to the poor becomes obsessional. Due to a lack of professional perspectives, he returns to Amsterdam in 1877. When he is refused admittance in theology school, Vincent briefly enters a missionary school near Brussels and in December 1878 leaves for the Borinage, a coal-mining area in southern Belgium, to work as a lay preacher. Vincent identifies with the miners, sleeping on the floor and giving away his belongings. His extreme commitment draws disfavor from the church and he is dismissed. In 1883 Vincent's darkly colored paintings are not in the current Parisian style, where Impressionist artists are now using a bright palette. In 1885, Vince -- from Sharon
