When the gentleman is admiring his portrait and says "Hey You." someone chopps onions in my eyes...or something. Two common words...a mere 6 letters can grab a heart and squeeze like a lightening bolt fills a southern sky and the clap is heard by thousands on a hot July night. David, "Hey You" is your super power, describing you as an artists is a disservice.
I agree with Liberty's comments. Please don't stop this blessed mission. Keep listening to the voices and providing a megaphone for the fact that humans can be so terrible, and yet so glorious, gracious, strong and victorious.
BRAVO!!! Thank you for all of your dedication that you have personally given to make sure that the stories of the Holocaust live on. I have tears in my eyes and little bumps on my arms, Thank you
Beautiful, David. I’ve heard testimony of a few of the people you’ve painted. I was not, however, aware that you had or have an exhibit. Your work is sublime and your soul seems to be finding peace. Don’t ever stop.
You are a true dedicated artist David .Each of your portrait is so live and soul touching including your moms portrait.CONGRATS AND BEST WISHES from INDIA

Sadly, Hanna Pankowsky passed away a little over a year ago. She was not able to meet her first great grandson, who was born in Israel. His father (my son), made aliyah several years ago. Her son (my son’s father), passed away 7 years ago. May her memory be a blessing.
Hanna was so incredible. I drew her from life in Colorado a couple of years ago. She was so vibrant and full of life. She is so missed and ill try to keep her memory and testimony alive.
