Really?! Thanks!!




Dear Mary, Terri, Pat, David, Jimmie, Richard, and Linda,

You are my early-bird friends! I am overwhelmed, even floating on the ceiling as I awake to your kind praises! Too much at once! I am surprised because I was reallly getting kind tired of looking at this painting every day. Not that one can truly overdose on pretty girls though!

Mary: If you can convince me I have things to teach you may cause a paradigm shift in me. Thanks for your early feedback and help.

Terri: You threw that bar up out of sight with your recent commissions. Don't blame me! I am in awe of your improvement. Thank you too for early feedback and help during the recent shutdown. You made a quality difference in this painting's finish.

Pat: Thanks! I have lost track of the hours. Too many!

David: Thanks (I think). Well at least I am still living, but there's still much to master.

Jimmie: Thanks! You know I keep returning to your many many captivating portraits of real women. Inspiring!

Richard: Thanks. Don't worry, my feet are back on the cold ground. I have been a value control freak though. Sometimes the value nuances are more sensitively subtle than I can capture. I'm learning.

Linda: Thanks for your compliment! These paintings do seem to take their individual course. I feared I posted too many close-ups, but there is just so much going on in this portrait. Don't lose your hat!

Garth

Dear Jane,

I feel exactly the same when you post your penetrating portraits. Thanks so much. What would we do without this Forum?

Garth

Holy Moly!!

That's about all I can get out just now. I'll need a few days (or weeks) to digest what I'm seeing.

I'd gladly be a fly on the wall of Herrick's circle.

David,

Thanks! Like I just expressed to Jane, your work is fabulous and very inspirational. I don't know where i would be without all the incredible talents here to bounce off of and be inspired by.

Garth

Garth,

You can never post too many close-ups of your work. I may look, trying to learn something, but always come away flabbergasted. It's simply too lovely to look at! I forget to study.

I'm often bored with the standard little girl in the white dress, but this is a whole new take on an old idea. It's exciting, fun, beautifully executed, and awe inspiring.

Jean

Dear Garth,

What a delight! There' s not much I can add to the already well- stated kudos at hand, a beautifully successful piece.

Too many close ups? Surely you jest.

Garth this is absolutely beautiful!!

I know, how original of me.

I would also like to thank you for the close ups. They are yummy to look at. So helpful.

Hey, I just thought of this, do you know what would be a real treat? If you would start a thread and post a painting in progress. That would be the TREAT OF ALL JAMMIE TREATS for me. What do you say?

By the way a "jammie treat" is a very special event around here. It is the time of day that we all get into our jammies and have a treat before bed. Not always edible. It was my way of making bed time something to look forward to for my children. Works great, and it is a hoot when my husband asks "Honey, what is the jammie treat for tonight?"

Well Chris, I was worried because it's such a busy painting with so much going on. Thanks for helping to reassure me I haven't exceeded the limit.

Garth

Hi Jean,

Thanks for your kindness. I know what you mean about looking and trying to learn from the looking, but just being confounded by loveliness. It happens to me all the time.

This is my first ever white dress genre painting. I am glad it comes accross as atypical and inspiring.

Garth
