Reader Comments on Here in New England: Brendan Loughlin from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:14:19 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-01/features/stilllifes How inspiring! I too am at the point in my life where I want my art to be more than something that just sits in my closet. I appreciate his determination to pursue his desire. Without a degree behind me, I completely understand the intimidation and feeling of elitism of painting. BUT, as I will use his story to inspire me to never give up on my dream of creating a career from my art! Thank you for sharing this story with us!

I am from New England ( Vermont ) and recently moved to NJ. so I am also in a new area trying to adapt to the new surroundings. I just wanted to read some fun stuff, so I chose Yankee Magazine for its familiar places inside its covers. I came across the article on Mr. Loughlin, and was totally inspired to pick up my favorite remedy for stress again, ART! His story was amazing, and had me welling up with tears with all his struggles of the past. I am thrilled he finally feels at home as an artist...I have had many of the same feelings...the feeling that I feel my art is trapped inside me, wanting to come out! I have been an ink artist for the most part, ( Very unforgiving medium ) so I was intrigued by this pastac combination as I read his article. I am going to buy the materials, and create something for the walls in my new house! Thank you Brendan...for sharing your incredible talents with us!

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:58:29 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-01/features/stilllifes A BIG WOW to Brendan. This is the type of person I would like to meet. Someone who has emerged from next to poverty to find himself and his trade and give back. Amen to you, Brother, Lucyna Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:32:23 +0100
