Mort your work is incredible. I'm an artist and I only dream I could paint like you. Your perspective how you lay out the action in your paintings it's just awesome. The way that you can capture a moment. I bet if any of the Masters saw some of your work they would love it and want more. I know I do. You're the man. Always stay frosty.

This is very exciting. I live in California, but am going to try to make a trip in August to see the exhibit.

I wouldn't be surprised. I always wondered what kind of reference these artists used, models or images of celebrities
