Thanks Terri! I dont know - they are interviewing him (not her) for his book, so even if it gets in a shot it is not as if my name would be mentioned. The likelihood of my signature showing is about zero-percent. I'm just not sure it is worth putting it over there wet. If I wait and deliver it Saturday his sister will be there - who he says might be interested in a portrait ...so that may actually translate into something worthwhile...

Kim,

This one really makes me smile. It's such an unusually cool pose and composition. I like the delightfully warm palette you chose. It really has that "southwestern" feel to it. The masonry work in that arched walkway is tastefully rendered. The play of light is excellent.

This interesting and lovely woman appears to be an individual anyone would like to just sit and have a cool beverage with outside under an umbrella discussing any and everything.

Kim, you rock. The way you handled the face in shadow gets

Good luck with getting it shown on TV. Let us know what happens.

Many congratulations, Kimberly! It's no wonder the clients are crazy about this- it turned out fantastic

!

Only problem is I can't seem to get the Kimberly Dow Channel on my cable subscription.

Kimberly Dow · 02-22-2005, 02:33 PM

Geary, Jimmie & Rob -

Thank you very much. You all are making me feel real good today.

Rob, if I'm ever on cable it would be one those cop shows - trying to arrest me for wearing my painting overalls in public.

Kimberly,

I don't know what finishing touches you did, but this really has come to life! Beautiful!!

Then I will meet you in jail. Is there any other way to dress in public?

Congratulations on a successful portrait. Kim, with your talent and drive, you don't need the TV. Word of mouth will soon spread, if it hasn't already. I keep myself busy, but I get exhausted just trying to follow your progress.

I am happy for you and wish you continued success.

Thank you!

Left the Northeast behind?! No way - I'll always be a Yankee thank you very much. Don't let the hat fool you missy. Seriously - doing the southwest style thing has got to help considering this is where I live. And because it isnt a natural clothing or taste style for me - it is actually kind of a kick to paint! It feels like I am painting costumes.

I'm thinking I'm going to make a canvas print of this one to keep as a sample maybe.

I wont get paid until I deliver it Saturday, but I dont anticipate any problems. But - HEY - thanks for putting that thought in my head!

Congratulations, Kim! I, too, love the strong Southwest feel of this piece.
