Walt G Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 His work was an inspiration, to view it stirred memories of the happy times of youth and the past, all very wonderful and comforting to see. The man had a "great eye" to create three dimensional works of art to depict scenes that Norman Rockwell did with a brush , canvas and pallet. RIP. we are all the better for his effort and are at a loss that it is now gone with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coyote Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 This is sad news. All the scenes looked so real. A snap shot of everyday life in the early years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36 D2 Coupe Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Looking at his work was like going home again to small town life in the Fifties. We were offered an amazing gift by this brilliant talented man. The images he created bring a lump in the throat to those of us who can remember those times. R.I.P and thank you Michael Paul Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hill Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Even more sad, it sounds as if he took his own life due to all the things he struggled with personally. Very talented man Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
