Jurzy Girl --thank you for your heartfelt and soulful response--embodying what the my painting of the Enso is all about --an artistic and spiritual continuum linking us together with the ebony ink of one single stroke---just like one resonant jazz note that invites you to riff and respond. London was yesterday, tomorrow Paris. When I return to the states I will devote a special section of http://www.inasinglestroke.com to Wynton's response with exclusive photos from Frank Stewart and video footage from Conrad Barclay. I invite you to visit the site, I welcome you into the stroke, into the inclusive ebony ink of the ancient art form, of Sumi-e I’d like to thank the beautiful Wynton Marsalis fan site for helping us share the message of Wynton’s extraordinary participation in Around the World in a Single Stroke.

Your words of encouragement are so welcome. Wynton's support of artistic endeavors is varied and invaluable and so welcomed at a time when the arts are at their most vulnerable.

This young woman is carrying her idea of the Enso around the world and has amassed an impressive roster of sponsors and interested patrons along the journey. She performed a piece of abstract poetry, played an emotionally charged tribute to Wynton on her flute, and expressed verbally her endless admiration and gratitude for My Hero. For those of you struggling to earn a living by way of your art and/or wondering if there are people who will support your artistic vision, Drue's project screams a deafening and definitive "YES!!!" Stick to what you love and the rest will follow. My Hero was as dapper as ever in an olive cashmere and silk three-piece suit with Eel (???) skin shoes I am sure were handmade. In honor of Enso, he circled the room playing through the small gathering of guests and even used Wess Anderson's wine glass (empty) as a muting device. What a magnificent sound, what an innovative approach and interactive performance. Seated at the top of the world, Wynton signed the Enso painting at the 12 o'clock position. His use of the brush was masterful, his signature was fluid and his name a piece of art itself. I admire Wynton's ongoing support for the arts and his obvious and continuous mentorship of up-and-coming artists.
