"HOLY REALISM !!!!!! Your work is superb at first glance I assumed you were a photographer !"

"Oh, I almost forgot. All your new painting image links are broken. I was disappointed I wanted to see your new paintings."

"Valeriy, my favorites are the mountains, islands, and rivers. I like the large vistas. I like how you establish a color tonality in each picture and use it. The mountain photos are grand. But I was glad I went to your website so I could see your paintings. You use a sqare format a lot."
