Gratitude
Chris, EVERYTIME I see one of your paintings I am filled with gratitude that I can study with you at Scottsdale Artists' School. Your work exhibits the very qualities that I wish someday to demonstrate in my own paintings: beauty and strength. I know that certain music can bring forth a rush of instant, unplanned emotion, but so does seeing your beautiful work. Just the act of seeing your work, Bill Whitaker's, Linda Brandon's and Sharon's K.'s, causes something to grab me around the throat and make me want to cry. What IS that?!!!
My appreciation for your insightful expertise grows with every painting that I paint, guessing at the hours of effort that have gone into the creation of such paintings ... a humbling experience.
Carol Norton

Wow Chris, I agree with all above!
This looks like a drawing that would take more hours than three, but it has the spontaneity of a quick sketch, meaning your work is so fresh and never overdone!
I keep your book in my lap, you would think a bit of this had rubbed off by now!

Hi Chris,
You have such a distinctive style that it's easy to recognize immediately. It's strong and confidant without a hint of hesitation.
