1. Special Note: I've been feeling very disconnected and a little lost since the recent passing of my mother, who was one of two of my unit of family, really felt a loss of love that I had my whole life.....especially when my birthday came last week....and I was awed, and taken aback by the hundreds of birthday wishes from you all. You helped fill a void that I thought was going to be bottomless. I felt your love when I probably needed it more than any other time in my life....and I thank all of you. I've taken the loss of my mother and put her persona within me....like my conscious thoughts of right and wrong have her voice. Again, thank all of you for your best wishes, I made sure that day to give a thank you back to everyone....and that kept me better busy the entire day, keeping me from sulking in the darkness.

I just had the epiphany of my life. You ever have one of those moments when suddenly everything in your life comes together to a kind of fate....or journey down a path that you realized had been mapped out for you long before you took your first step. Angel Oak is that for me. Lol.... it all started with the tree...the one I slammed into in a car accident that put me in a coma. It took me on the path to become an artist. And the first painting I ever did back in 2001 or s o of "The Glory Tree" go figure... was of a tree with a glorious sun, an oak tree...go figure. And here I am 16 years later, from a guy just beginning art in a very late start, to be posting of a photo of Angel Oak, that seems to have revealed to me a vision of my spiritual faith. From a little newspaper editor of a small town in North Carolina, I become one of the world's top contemporary artists with a spiritual mission started 16 years ago, and today...I have my epiphany that this journey I begin from
