Thanks for the look, Kathy. I''m new to this site and am not quite certain how everything works yet, But I notice that I like just about everything I see from these artists. What I like about your work is the way you make a portrait of the subject matter and your approach to light. Keep it comin''!

Jim van Geet - 9/8/2008 5:25:00 AM

Kathy, Love your quirky take on everyday objects. Great colour balance.

Wes Waugh - 9/8/2008 12:12:00 PM

Hi Kathy, thought I would say hello to a fellow Alabama Artist! I''m just right up the road from you in Grant, just outside Guntersville. Those cherries are great!

Lisa Ober - 9/14/2008 2:45:00 AM

Hi! Thought I would pop over and say hello. Beautiful work...some of it is making me very hungry. Also, thanks for the welcome to this site.

charles g swenson - 9/14/2008 6:51:00 PM

Hi Kathy, love your work, your story is so cool too, Im self taught also but along the way had had some fabulous artists influence my work. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

J. Carter - 9/15/2008 9:27:00 PM

I was surprised to see that you are painting Xaomen''s photography off of Flickr. Aren''t her photographed still life''s great? Do you ever do your own set ups?

J. Carter - 9/15/2008 9:37:00 PM

Sorry I forgot to mention that your work is very nice and also that Xaomena''s work can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/24038132@N08/page11/. Good luck with your paintings.

Kathy Lumsden - 9/16/2008 12:26:00 AM

Thanks, J. Carter. Yes, Anna''s (aka Xaomena) photography and compositions are outstanding. I purchased the rights to 3 of her photographs for my paintings. I have finished 2 of them, and am working on the third. I do some of my own set-ups, but am a novice at them! Here''s a link to my flickr page with one of Anna''s photos that I painted: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumsden/2720747113/in/set-72157606441859270/

WR Jones - 9/21/2008 1:59:00 PM

Anyone who eats and paints sushi is a person to follow. Now if you could just dip those cherries in some chocolate.

Ahhh... Thank you for the wonderful comment Kathy! You are quite the artist, yourself. I love the richness of the cherries... wish I could eat one. Also, a hearty thanks for viewing my site and listening to the music. It is a struggle to work on both music and art, but I manage.

I like how you''re visually changing what is expected...you''re altering it slightly and it makes it so interesting. Keep up the good work!

WR Jones - 10/1/2008 8:29:00 PM

I like Lure # 4 but where are the other 3? Did you lose them in snags?

K Joann Russell - 10/9/2008 10:57:00 PM

The graceful simplicity of the leaning iris is my favorite. Cherries hold a close second. Your life story encourages all of us. The right time seems always to be NOW.
