Loving the smoke.

Very interesting site. Hope it will always be alive!

Amazing work! I found your site through Josh Coy's web site(he and I are great friends)...which took me to Anthony's site...which then...brought me to your site! ha ha Anyways..I was an art student at BGSU many moons ago...and was involved in cru! Anyways..thought I'd say hello! Blessings to ya. http://artwithmre.blogspot.com

What a joy to watch your artwork grow from the days when you were a little boy making pictures for your grandma and grandpa to the stunning work I saw on your website! --your aunt--

Dude... this stuff is absolutely amazing!!! I am a huge fan, and I think I'm inspired to find out what I'm really good at...

Ben, your talent is absolutely staggering, and the vision behind your pieces is inspiring. Keep up the good work; I can't wait to see more.

Ben, I love your paintings. WOW what a God given gift you have!

These works are so realistic, they leave me in awe.

Very beautiful work! If i didn't know better id swear some of the paintings were photographs.

Ben your new painting of Sandy is incredible!! I'm so proud of you and enjoyed watching you create this piece!

I hope you received my invitation today for Oranges & Sardines. I really like that painting of yours that was stolen. I like your new series too and your self portraits remind me a little of a 21 century Michaelangelo...

Your work is great and I enjoyed it keep up the good work.You are a talented person. John outsourcing in call center

I feel like I could speak to the heart of any matter with the subject of your latest piece. Will be curious to see how it turns out with the addition of the other elements.

hey J, i just checked this out for the first time (with katie). Despite having seen many of these before, I've gained a new sense of appreciation for your fine work...Jolly good.

You are incredible well walking though Flatlanders I didn’t really feel any connection to any of the other work but as I came to your section, I felt a understanding of your work and with each piece I couldn’t help but to think what each women was feeling that very moment, and to me that is a great peice (: Ben you are so talented it blows me away how realistic your work looks. The detail you put forth and the time that it takes you truly paids off because your end results are breath taking. Keep it up. Thanks

You are very gifted and your work shows it! Your website fantastic!

Wow!  I absolutely love your work!  I'm sure that I will be hearing about your successes very soon.  When I was eating at Marconi's last night,I gave you the website of my son, Scott, who is a print maker.  I am sending your website to him.  Best of luck to a very talented young man.

I dig your artwork. Very nice oil paintings! I met your dad yesterday and he gave me your web address. Very cool art and congrats on your accomplishments. Nathan Janes www.PopARF.com myspace.com/pop_arf

Ben, Your get so many accolades on your art work. We need to to encourage each other as your work encourages me. I see the spirit of the Lord directing you. Listen and allow him to direct you. You have many choices this world has to offer but stay in his light he will not disappoint.

Ben, I am overwhelmed by your beautiful artwork and your awesome talent! I had no idea your artistic ability was this developed - what a wonderful gift! Looking forward to your future as you continue sharing your talent with the world.

I'm sure there are more artistically astute ways to say this, but the use of color and light is fantastic. I love the open eyes but wouldn't recommend your model do it again!

i love every single piece of art work you do. you are truly amazing and God has blessed you with an incredible talent for the world to appreciate!

Your work is amazing Ben, i miss you bro

Ben... Eric and Lyns told me about some of your new stuff... but until I saw them... you continue to grow as an artist and have an amazing gift for capturing beauty. Well done my friend.

Thank you. It's/she's lovely!

When will we see more? Finished? Works in Progress?

You are very blessed. Use these talents to glorify God! The quality of your work is beyond impressive. I hope that you chose to continue CRU!

WHAT!? This is out of control Ben- you are so talented! I literally had to press my face up to the screen because I thought they were photos, not paintings. You should be Oprah. For reals.

I am speechless Ben. All glory to God. I am thankful you are not hiding your talent. Allow your overflowing heart bring to light the images you have deep in your heart that will glorify Christ. Keep running toward him and he will reveal to you what is so important.

An amazing gift. I am honored to know you and fellowship with you. Keep up the good work. You are loved.

I love this.

Sir, you are too good at this art business. AR AR AR. Also: http://genevahodgson.blogspot.com it's mostly junk, but there it is. You put me to shame. :P

Hey! I really like the changes you've made to your site. The enlarged images are a huge (no pun intended) improvement. Can't wait to see your latest painting in person!

Ben, These are amazing. . . I had no idea you were so talented. I love you bro

You've really captured the essence of the delicacy of the lace. Quite impressive!!

Ive Loved Your Work Since HS And As The Years Go By It Gets More Impressive!

I am proud to say I know you-- your work is deep my friend

Nice work!! I really liked "Blessing". It is unique! Have you lost your Canadian accent yet?

Hey Ben, Very cool site. Love seeing your work! Have a great year at BG.

You are an amazingly gifted artist! Kodak's got nothing on you! Keep up the excellent work - I'll keep checking in from time to time. Your Dad gave me one of your business cards this morning at The Chapel - I'm glad he did!

I'm amazed. Seriously, your work is incredible!

One day I'm going to take my kids to an art museum and say, "You see that painting, that is a painting of my old college roommate and his girlfriend. The jerk never did want to paint me, but thats ok."

Really good work I've seen a lot of it over the years though but hey still its great work, Though for a good website and good portfolio. This may be just a thought of mind but they do look to see if you can do other things. So if you have just concept art that you would like to through up there that will help out the website out alot. Anyway keep it up man.

wow man i'm flabergasted

and then God gave people talent. Ben, you are remarkable! May God bless you in your pursuit with this wonderful area.

Well Ben, you never cease to amaze me with your works.I always make sure to check out your new stuff simply because art like that makes me smile.You have a special ability to capture and articulate things with a brush most can't with an imagination.Good luck to you in the future and keep up the stunning work.

Ben, your passion for detail is remarkable. The Lord has blessed you with an amazing talent. Keep up the pursuit. Proverbs 3:5-6
