Personal Notes of Thanks
from the Baron



I would like to thank all of my family for their undying love and support, that has been unconditionally given to me through all the years. They have not only put up with me through those hard and long hours of working which lingered for years, but have supported me in all of my adventures and misadventures without complaint! No matter what has been placed before me, their steadfast love has inspired and carried me through each and every step. The same devotion and love still inspires me today. The precious gift of their love is my most cherished treasure.

To my steadfast friends and faithful fans throughout the world I owe to you more than words can express. Without each of you, I would be denied the joy of sharing in the gift/talent God has given me. Each of you heighten the artistic experience for me by finding pleasure in my art. Because of each of you, family and friends - your love, support and encouragement has made me the most blessed (blest) and richest man in the world. Thank you so very much.

I wish to thank my friends, Marston Smith and Yves Vincent, not only for the use on this site of their beautiful music but for the inspiration that their music brings to me. As I paint each day, their wornderful music creates for me a mood that both inspires and soothes my creative soul. It brings a new dimension to my work and for that I am deeply grateful. Thanks Marston and Yves, I know the world shares my feelings about your masterful talents."


I want to thank my personal artist friends that I have fortunately been able to work beside in the early years of my career and who through their kind quidenance have inspired me to become a better artist. Those artists from my Brown & Bigelow days back in Minnesota were Gillette Elvgren, Fritz Willis, Bill Medcalf are just a few of the many who have inspired me and whom I emulate as a tribute to them and their superb talent. Their place in pinup art history has been recorded for all time.

Also to Wm. Bouguereau, the French master from the 19th Century who has inspired me and whom I emulate in my classical style. Though these artists have since passed away their talent is recorded in history and shared by the entire world and I continue to be inspired by their magnificent talent.

I would also like to thank my personal friend, Duane Bryers, from the old Brown & Bigelow days for his inspiration and critiqueing of my work. His wonderful calendar series "Hilda" is one of his masterful talents and we continue to keep in contact which is an inspiration to me."


How can words describe the amount of gratitude I have for Tammy and Billy Anders for all the time, love and hard work they have done in my behalf to create this wonderful site. Their talents are all inspiring and I am so humbly grateful for their superb work. I will always be eternally grateful for their hard work, expertise, kindness, and deep friendship in bearing with me through all of this. Thank you my dear friends for being there for me.
