[Elizabeth Schott]

Alex this is wonderful. In addition to the great gesture of your friend, it looks like you got to have tons of fun with all kinds of subject matter.

Lovely!

This is an inspiring portrait of your friend and speaks volumes of passion. Well done.

Dear Alexandra,

I am very fond of this painting! I've really come back to look at it several times and find something new to love about it each time. The colors really grab the eye and I really like the painterly style of it.

But the thing I really love about this is how "real" it is. It is so cool that you included the extra things that make up her life. I am just crazy about the children's drawings on the wall behind her! Even though I don't know her, your painting has really brought her to life for me!

Congratulations,
Julie

Cindy, Beth, Ngaire and Julie, I really appreciate what you said about this portrait! You picked up on the instant flash of "gotta paint this!" that I felt when I was sitting across from her at the table. The whole scene with all its objects and drawings on the wall was a complete composition, or maybe a still life with a person in it, asking to be painted. Add to this the fact that Nancy Bea paints still life, and I couldn't resist.

Garth, it was so enjoyable talking with you yesterday. Thanks so much for taking the time to come to my studio and lugging that heavy painting along. It is absolutely stunning in person! Hope it survived the rainstorm. Thanks so much again for your support and encouraging words!

Alex
