		<description>Lawrence,

It is gratifying to know that my work is being appreciated in the way I have intended it. The great thing about art, if you can find a piece that really makes sense to you, is that it pulls together so many abstract ideas into one concrete image to be immediately remembered each time you see it. It is one reason I was so interested in art, and definitely the most rewarding aspect of a career in art.

It sounds like you are familiar enough with my work to have noticed that I have a thing for architecture, skyscrapers and bridges in particular. They are symbols to me of many of the very ideas I try to put into my paintings. &lt;em&gt;The Fountainhead&lt;/em&gt; is my personal favorite of Ayn Rand’s novels, in no small part due to its subject and what it has to say about artistic integrity. I have considered many compositions involving themes from the book, (&lt;a href="/larsen/anewheight.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A New Height&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is one early example) and I can almost guarantee that I will be working on just such a project in the near future.

Thanks for the comments, and I hope your prints continue to be a source of inspiration.</description>

		<description>Bryan, I have &lt;a href="/larsen/howfar.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;em&gt;How Far We've Come&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; hanging in my apartment and I am waiting for &lt;a href="/larsen/firstheat.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;em&gt;First Heat&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to be framed. I am going to put them on opposite sides of a window, I think the distinctive colors of the two will contrast well next to each other. Your work for me is an artistic representation of my outlook on and philosophy of life. It expresses the idea of man as a heroic and noble being in a more profound way than mere words. The two pieces I have will serve as visual reminders of what I feel the meaning of life to be, achievement. Achievement for the individual as well as for mankind as a whole. Powerful is how I would describe your work. I look forward to following your career. By the way, do you have any plans to do a piece using a theme from &lt;em&gt;The Fountainhead&lt;/em&gt;, specifically Howard Roark?</description>
