Dear Edward:

We have known you for a long time. We honestly couldn't be happier to see you become a successful artist. Throughout your trials and tribulations you have persevered toward your dream to become what you always wanted to be.

You are a man who communicates your emotions on canvas, with beautiful color and movement. Your heart is in every picture. You never fall short of what you need to say. We are proud owners of three Gilmore paintings.

We look forward to you becoming an abstract expressionist artist that future art collectors are hoping for. Abstract expressionism is still alive and well with Edward W. Gilmore.

Sincerely,
Jerry and Sally Donovan

Dear Ed,

We love your artwork. After hearing so many positive comments on your work we had to come and see it for ourselves. We were not sure what to expect when we decided to travel to Idaho to view your pieces. We were totally awed by the effect it had on us. The intensity of the colors and the depth of the paintings were unbelievable.

After meeting you and finding out what a genuine person you were, we were even more impressed. Your art is very exciting, not only the pieces on canvas, but the sculptures as well. Your creativity and ability to manipulate the paint is stunning. We had planned on possibly purchasing one piece of your artwork and were so taken that we purchased two.

We would recommend anyone who is an art collector or just enjoys the beauty of color to make a point of seeing your work. We are sure they will ba as impressed as we are. We look forward to seeing more of your artwork and making more purchases in the future.

Sincerely,
Steve & Riesa Johnson

Dear Edward,

I was very fortunate that I was able to purchase some of your art, and meet you in person. You're a genuine person. Your art took me by total surprise. It really set me back when I first saw your art. The color is overwhelming and your art is so original. It's really hard to pick a favorite piece of art from your collection.

When you told me you only paint one picture at a time, that to me is so evident because all your art has its own life, with the magnificent color and the extreme emotional content, and after meeting you in person I see you're an artist with a passion to paint your pictures.

I look forward to collecting your art for years to come, and look forward to seeing you in Seattle on Feb. 22, 2007, as I think a star is born.

Sincerely,
Kathy Crotts
