Artist With A Beautiful Heart

I agree Bill!

Hear Hear !!!!! Agree.....

I agree too, Bill! Chance is a wonderful guy and his kind spirit shines through.

I am glad you ladies agree. Opps...I mean....ladies and Mario...lol.

Yes, Chance is the kind of artist that is welcome at my table anytime.

Yes,

Chance is a Stand-Up guy.

A pleasure to be acquainted with him.

I can't believe I just now saw this. I was driving all day yesterday and scouting the Grand Canyon rim for the perfect shot so I've had a hard time coming on here. Currently in a Motel 6 listening to a dog bark.

Bill, thank you so much for the truly kind words. I don't know what to say. This thread not only my day but probably my year. I started focusing on art and uploading to FAA in the first place in light of some depressing times in life and sometimes it's all I have to look forward to. Unexpected kindness and recognition like this is appreciated beyond what my miniscule words can describe.

Your art in itself is full of heart in a good state as you described and I'm always awed by what I see when I visit your profile. I love what you do.

Thanks again and you'd always be welcomed at my paint-covered table as well.

Also thanks to Mario, Viva, Peggy and Glenn. You're all wonderful people too!

You are so very welcome my brother. Your words remind me of a time/times when I needed creativity to save me as well from the pains put upon me. When I had it all and suddenly ended up homeless. It's all the workings of life which make you BLEED, and ART brought about healing, comfort and purpose. Art can be our best friend at times and always there to turn to.

I am a ladies man (as everyone here knows) lol, but I am not so blind as to not recognize the value of the heart in man, and I know your heart is in the makings of a true Masterpiece.

You are welcome to mail me at my gmail address anytime, as I know that we all need encouragement.

Chance is one of my favorite peeps to read on the forum. A welcome addition to the site, no doubt. I am sure a good dude to meet in person as well. I'm not really one to comment on these types of threads, but hey everyone makes exceptions on occasion, especially when it comes to the exceptional.

Cheers

What a beautiful tribute to Chance, Bill! I agree with all the above!

Jessica, thank you for your blessings. You are another artist of wonder. I figured that Chance was worth some sort of tribute. Men need to be validated, and I felt the need to do just that.

Thanks so much Don and Jessica! And for sure Bill. The encouragement is truly appreciated. Thanks again. It means a lot!

For once I agree with you, Bill

You have been a welcome addition to the site, Chance

Oh NO!!!! Abbie agrees with WILD BILL. The world is really coming to an end!!!!!! lol.

Thanks so much Abbie, that means a lot! Happy to be here. I don't chime in the main forums a lot but I read them all the time and really enjoy the community here. This site has even inspired me to try things I never would have before.

And I appreciate being able to have the opportunity to sell my work on such a great platform. I can see myself uploading here for life

I agree, Bill. I haven't been engaged here very long but Chance has been so friendly and helpful, and his help has been greatly appreciated.

You bet Bill. No man is an island, and it really helps to know others are on the "island" who appreciate you.

Thanks Bill C! You're very friendly too

What? A Bill thread I agree with? Is it snowing in that place below purgatory? Lol yes Bill Chance is a great new addition to FAA.

Jester, just goes to show that you and many who thought they have me figured out, really don't know my heart at all. At the same time, it's not like I love everyone and am known to make people feel good about themselves, so when I do, it is because I feel it is in order.

To be totally honest, I wish I could commend everyone on FAA, but I can't muster that....only those who I feel are are genuine.

What an honor, to be recognized for your great character. That was thoughtful of you, Bill. Way to go, Chance. And your artwork/photography certainly speaks for itself. Congrats.

Jester and Alison, thank you so much for these kind words.

We all know how many hours and trials and struggles can go into the art/photography we create. To be recognized for it by Bill and all of you really means so much.

I just got back from an exhilarating Grand Canyon trip and am excited to get some work up from there. I have been so behind so I am sorry I'm not able to give the individual thanks all of you deserve, but each of you are awesome members of this community and I enjoy your insights on the threads.

I must agree, Chance is a very good guy and a great addition to FAA. I have my suspicions that under the crusty exterior Bill ain’t too bad himself.

I'm glad you guys and gals agree. Don't worry Chance about keeping up. This may be my last day for a while on here as I will be heading out.

Thanks so much Ronald! You are a great guy too. You really think outside of the box and encourage art as a form of true human expression.

Bill, thanks again for this thread. It means more than you know. Be safe out there

Chance, everyone on here knows I live to get into trouble...lol. Outrunning cops, taking on Big Foot, taking on Abbie (lol), and of course tomorrow will be filled with excitement. I get to see my almost forgotten muse, a millionaires and the model (we have been stewing over). Of course not all at the same time....lol (I am not suicidal).

Aww that is so sweet Bill! I agree Chance has been such a shining light here!

Thanks so much Val!

How kind of you Bill to put such a lovely post on here about another artist. Good luck on your travels. More stories to come later no doubt.

Chance I have seen you here and agree with the others but I only just looked at your page. Your work is stunning. I am following you now.

Agree it was very kind of Bill.

Gill, thank you so much! Really appreciate that
