Absolutely Stunning! Love each and every painting. Thank you for your unwavering
Patriotism. You are richly blessed and much appreciated Mr. Simon.
hey I saw your paintings and I really love them. I am also a portrait painter. I worked for years as the Archivist for the national park service department of the interior publications division. I’ve seen many wonderful artists but I like the fact that in your paintings I see your mind working. Thank you for choosing to paint if you’re ever in the DC area I live in West Virginia, and I always love to meet a fellow painter. My name is Teri Magnante.
