IAN'S GRANDSON JAMIE

Ta Neil, I shall dance at your wedding.

Ah, but I’ve still got a lot to learn – better get on with it at my age. Many thanks Lozzie

Thanks Ismail that’s greatly appreciated my friend.

How generous George. Another coffee on my on Friday.

I know you are into mixed media now Dave. i must say it’s saved the day when they work together, never mind any rules. Thanks.

It’s those highlights, especially the twinkles in the eyes, which are the payoff – the most enjoyable parts of painting. Along with that I love reflected light, although there isn’t much in this picture. Thanks Jim.

...or it could be the curry I had last night. You’re very kind Rose and coming from such a skilled artist your comment is especially appreciated.

Thank you Ann. I see you are a whizz with the camera and have shown us some delightful pictures. Will take a longer look.

You never fail to give an old guy such lovely encouragement Linda. Many thanks.

I’ve just taken a quick look at your first page Noelene and what a delight. Discovering new people who have skills like yours is what makes RB such a great organisation. I’ll look forward to taking a longer look. Thank you.

When it comes to genius I reckon you are king Tom. Much appreciated my friend.

I’m glad too that hand-created artwork still has its place alongside photography and digital work – otherwise I’d be out of a most pleasurable hobby. Most kind of you StarKatz.

Ah, the lovely Lynda, always there to charm and old geezer. You echo my wish – to stand behind you and watch you produce those fantastic works of art. Tell you what, let’s stand behind each other….although a slight problem does occure to me.

If it helps a bit, then watercolour is just for the first layout tones and perhaps a few highlights.

Thanks pin-up girl.

And your comments are always greatly appreciated Moonchild, thank you so much.

Thank you Margaret.

Thank you Brandie, that is much appreciated.

Thanks for the kind comment Norah.

Now there’s a coincidence, i was just about to comment on your latest drawing Michael Thanks for that.

Most kind of you Hidemi, and coming from such an artist as you, a great compliment.

Thanks Karen. I think portraiture is the most challenging of subjects, but it’s very enjoyable trying to meet the challenge.

I can well say the same of your work A.F. – a most impressive portfolio. Many thanks for you kind comment my friend.

Thank you Jean. One of the pleasures of RB is discovering good artists. I’ve just had a look through you work and am very impressed.

I don’t think I’ve had so many pieces of mine favoured by anyone as much as by you – you have greatly lifted my spirits my friend, thank you so much.

Most kind of you Derek, and thank you too for all the favouring – hope I don’t disappoint.
