Luis Miguel, thank you for showcasing this young girl's art.  I am astounded.  I have never heard of her but now I want to do some research on her and tell my friends about her wonderful paintings.  I really liked the painting  On My Knees.

I just love your forum Luis Miguel!  Thank you,

Pat

Dear Pauline,

I have finally found a few moments to come by and reply to your kind post. But first, let me thank you for granting this forum the Best Forum Appreciacion Award, and then for being so gentle as to come and post here.

My answer is yes, I would like to continue "mesmerizing," as you say, you and all my kind visitors with this forum. As you know, for nearly two years I have been featuring artists only sporadically because of a personal project that required my full attention, and even now I am trying to finish it, so it is not very clear whether I will be able to launch myself in full again as previously. As the Spanish saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes..."  However, recently I got from a dear friend the idea (or rather the inspiration) to feature Akiane, and while finding other artists as incredibly endowed as she is will not be easy, I migth resume the forum little by little until it is working at full speed again... I really hope so.

Thanks again, 

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Dear Cheryl,

I deeply appreciate the trouble you have taken both to bring this thread to the public attention in Adland, and to come and post your comments here.

Akiane's wonderful artwork is for sure my most treasured presentation so far. This certainly has to do with her giving God the credit for it, as this circumstance confers her (and her art) a spirituality that not even the most renowned artists of all time were endowed with – a touching sacredness that seduced, inspired, and moved me to the extent that this work or hobby of mine became a thrilling and delectable endeavor throughout.

However, this "sacred" character of my task has not in the least predisposed my appreciation of her art, which, in my opinion, stands on its own merit at a same level with that of the greatest masters simply because as you so aptly rated it, it is "outstanding". 

Best Regards,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Dear Dimitra,

It's a real pleassure to have you back here in this forum, and especially in this thread. Akiane is an angel on the earth, there is no doubt about that, and her inspiration is of divine nature. To me it too is very difficult to put my feelings in writing; but I can tell you there never has been an artist that touched me as deeply as Akiane has, even beyond mere artistic considerations, and so sharing her art with others has become to me a pleasure as well.

Best Wishes,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo
