Ha! You have no idea how close to the truth you are about my inability to cook eggs! :) I really would much rather draw them than cook them! Love your painterly work!

Thank you for your visit & words. We moved from Southern California to Northern Minnesota & decided that it doesn''t get any colder here than it got hot there - we can just put on more clothes. I''m on my way to visit next month & will be ready to come back to the quiet. Love the cars & your small quick studies are terrific - keep those up.

Thanks for your comments on my artwork WR. Yes, here in Canada we have lots of "Winter Drifts" and they are arriving soon (probably this weekend). I love your cars, great job!!!

Carol McArdle - 10/13/2008 12:33:00 AM

Thanks for your comment on "Face to The Wind"----and about cutting my grass from your earlier comment, it is about knee high in some places right now!---you can only do what you can do! Trying to actually make a living from my art means lots of stuff has to take the back seat. I think that you working another job and turning out great paintings is admirable!

Torrie Smiley - 10/15/2008 12:47:00 AM

I LOVE YOUR BLOG! I am now a fan and will be a regular reader! I have added you to my list of artists on my blog...now, people will say you hang out with chicken lips!

Amber Lowe - 10/15/2008 2:20:00 PM

WR Jones, thank you for your comment on my paintings, as for the choice in breeds, I am sure you are familiar with the term "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" lol. I like your MG A (I think that is the model anyway.) Your work is lovely and I enjoyed your portraiture work. Best wishes, Amber

Wow Bill that has to be your best painting, Pumpkin. Really strong design, worth the angst. A very good nude too. x

Wonderful portfolio. There is an elusiveness to your subjects which I find very appealing. Good stuff!

Susan Klonowski - 3/9/2009 10:54:00 PM

Your pumpkin painting is beautiful. The painting of the women draped in cloth is amazing. The size of the canvas is perfect for that subject.. The red is striking!
