The scene is so familiar; a little girl playing mommy. But, somehow in Mitchell Tolle's skilled hands, the ordinary becomes the sublime. Don Wildmon, President of the American Family Association put it this way:
"Simplicity was at the heart of the teaching of Jesus. He spoke about common things and every day experiences. He used the ordinary to reveal the divine."
"There is a profound simplicity I see in Mitchell Tolle's work that draws me to it. It is the fresh way he invites us to look at common things."
"With each passing year and each new painting, it becomes clearer to me how blessed we are by the work of this great artist; it represents everything we hold dear."

"Mitchell Tolle sees things most people don't. He translates everday living into powerful, expressive works of art; takes the ordinary and fashions it into the unique," says Garry Barker, Director of the Kentucky Folk Art Center at Morehead State University.
