Personal Note

 

Mr. B. here . . . I want to thank you for visiting my website.  And for those of you who have purchased my art, visited a workshop or visited one of the art shows I attend, thank you too.  Without your support I would still do what I do . . . I just would not enjoy it as much.  May God continue to bless and protect you.

Faith, tragedy, love and the will of survival all have played important rolls for many individuals who have gained success and fame over the centuries.  Fate, in the blink of an eye can transform a seemingly non-descript individual into a historical icon who will forever be a legend.  We have all read about individuals in the world history how a particular tragedy in their life altered their destiny and throw them into the rolls of heroes and legends.  Love is also a constant motivator that has caused others to gain greatness.  The will to survive has always been and will continue to be an enormous force for some to succeed; whether their motives are for good or for evil.  The memory of these unique individuals will last as long as there is a world.

 

This was particularly true for many aspiring artist throughout the centuries who sought fame and recognition in the world of art.  Wealth and fortune was not the force driving these individuals:  it was the passion to have their art accepted by the world in which they lived.  These artists were forever struggling not only to have their works of art accepted, but struggling with their own inner self doubts, struggling with their own demons whether real or imagined, and struggling to accept their own abilities to achieve and master the goals witch they were demanding of themselves.  Vincent Van Gogh was a prime example of this type of artist.  He was continuously agonized by the negative reviews of his critics while fighting his own destructive demons.  It was the love of his brother Theo that fostered Van Gogh's will to fight on toward a goal that he tragically achieved, but never realized.  As fate would have it his greatness was never accepted until after his death.  Paintings that Van Gogh could not give way during his life time have sold for over $80 million in our generation.

 

Interesting . . . Keep Van Gogh in mind as you visit other pages in Mr. B's Website.  Mr. B is a humble man who has had many struggles and endured a number of tragedies before he found acceptance and success in his art.  This is the story and website of "Mr. B.; an artist who overcame those tragedies and adversities to finally achieve success in the world of art.
