Comments on the Men Series

Dear Cory,
On a snowy Friday, the 21st of November, I viewed with fascination your exhibit at the Yellowstone Art Museum. As I gazed at the paintings, I recalled the struggles it took for you to be here, now, in this place of honor. I savored the meanings in your work and felt also a great contentment at seeing your name painted on the wall. Congratulations! It was heartening for me to see the growth that had occurred in you. Your portrayal of men, far from being a bashing, contained an empathy of transcendence. Even in the darkest ones, I saw the wisdom gained from the sorrow. I'm so very proud of you. Again, well done, Cory.
With deep regard,
R. Burns
