I admire your work so much and always look forward to seeing your beautiful paintings and reading your insightful, and often funny, posts!

I started to laugh just reading your comment thinking about some recent conversations we've had that were indeed funny. Thank you. I have so enjoyed every minute of the humour we've shared. I think of you in exactly the same way, which makes me laugh even more seeing you describe me as a kind of<br />humour saviour of the darkest days.<br />The favour has been returned many times. You know I love your work, and I have had the advantage of seeing it in the flesh. And your writing is a new surprise -- incredibly good.<br /><br />Love Barbara xoxoxoxoxoxBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-43081225483696882712010-01-13T19:04:28.241-08:002010-01-13T19:04:28.241-08:00It’s very generous and kind of you, Barbara to inc...It’s very generous and kind of you, Barbara to include me in this ongoing list. When you look at it you realize how eclectic and pluralistic the world of art blogging is.<br /><br />In a way it feels as though you’ve set up a little wine and cheese party for us on the internet. It really is a privilege to be assembled among this enterprising and talented group of artists from just about everywhere. I have admired every one of these artists for several months now. <br /><br />Now I’ve known you for ages and ages and I acknowledge that one of your foremost talents is your gift for humor . You have the incredible knack of taking my melancholic gloom ridden demeanor, turning up the corners of my mouth up to my eyeballs, and dissolving me into fits of laughter with your hilarious mimicry and observations. That’s it in a nutshell – your ability to observe the human condition in a way that is both positive and truthful and uplifting – It informs your work as an artist and it informs our long, enduring friendship<br /><br />love, xoxoxoxo<br />Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-49101453750428281392010-01-13T17:39:45.670-08:002010-01-13T17:39:45.670-08:00Hi Nicki,

I want them to be happy, and if occasionally they feel glad that I was their teacher that is a bonus for me. <br /><br />When I found your blog I felt that same excitement you describe. I found you through Edward B. Gordon, which looking at your paintings, makes perfect sense.<br />Many people are frightened even repelled by bold colour, so it's always a treat for me to find someone who loves colour and handles the bright stuff with skill. You and Edward are two of those people. Yes you are in the same camp!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my camp from time to time and for inspiring me.<br /><br />XOBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-2611440088004963612010-01-13T17:34:51.998-08:002010-01-13T17:34:51.998-08:00Hi Alyson,

I was thinking about you the other day, after reading your how to exceed expectations blog and feeling so behind. But as I also teach this stuff -- how to be organized -- I just made a list and took step one. I felt like I had you on my side, which I know I do. I feel honoured to know you, and constantly inspired and challenged. Apparently that's good for me, because wonderful things keep happening, the more I'm willing to grow and learn.<br /><br />XOBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-53770465193193597712010-01-13T08:55:12.939-08:002010-01-13T08:55:12.939-08:00Dear Barbara,

Many of them I have come across and I am excited to discover the ones I have not yet found. I have only been blogging for just over 4 months, but was quietly reading art blogs long before I started my own. I felt I knew you just from seeing and reading all of the supportive, kind, generous comments you left on others' blogs. Then one day you visited mine! I might have been shaking with excitement! I hope your students understand the gift they have in you as their teacher. You make all our lives brighter.<br /><br />"... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

I am always excited when I see one of your new posts. I love the variety of subject matter, your skill with abstraction and how seriously you<br />take your classes.

Thank YOU for being out there--you are as inspiring for me as all of us are to you. Being "blog absent' for a little while thru the holidays, I hoped (but knew) that when I posted again you'd be there with encouraging words. You were, and thank you.julie davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559836743365482675noreply@blogger.com
