I adore your Betty Boop pictures. < 3
You're quite wonderful at drawing her.
She has a special place in my heart.

And watch you I shall. :]

I love your work of Cape Cod. I think you should paint more of them. You have an excellent sense of color, and I like your brushwork.

to paint over photographs, you have to have good photos to start with, and I think you do a great job of that too.

Im a summer person on the Cape, and I've been to every place you painted at least a dozen times. I've got stories about each of them. For some of your works, it might be a bit of a gamble for a sale - a painting of the storefront of a gallery would be witty in the actual storefront of that gallery. It might not sell, depending on how much the viewer standing outside wants to remember that moment, but it's a good enticement to get them inside and see more. They're all very well done. Keep it up, and if you're ever in Wellfleet next summer, maybe I could see some of your work in a gallery? Who knows, maybe I'll even get some work in one! I've been trying on and off, for the last decade.

Thank you for your kind words and all of the 's . I actually live in Wellfleet year round so I'm always here. The owner of that one gallery actually did buy that one piece but I don't think they have it in their window . Feel free to look me up when you're in town. Thanks again!

I'll definately do that! My parents go to Wellfleet every summer. They play music for the Episcopal church there - St James the Fisherman. I'll be up to visit them often. Meanwhile, I'm preparing some art that I want to try and sell in galleries.

Hey thanks, for popping by and looking over my work

I'm all into meditation and saw your listening to the Naked Buddha, what's that all about, I've not heard of it? Any good?

Take it easy, Knowleser

katbaleu In reply to knowleser [2006-10-28 15:50:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for dropping me a note. I really thought your night shots are amazing. Incredibly technically well done too. I've been trying to learn more about taking night shots as of late. Care to share some of your techniques?

Yes, the Naked Buddha very interesting. It's basically an introduction to buddism and the history of it and the buddha. Very enlightening and comforting too. I found the audio version of it at my library so downloaded it on on iPod. What sort of meditating do you do? Are you into the martial arts?

knowleser In reply to katbaleu [2006-10-28 17:12:34 +0000 UTC]

I used to be into martial arts. I trainined for 8 years in Tai-Chi, Kung-Fu animal systems and finally over to Iaido (Japanese art of drawing the sword, got a bit expensive that one). I only do a bit of Tai-Chi or Chi-Gung occassionally. Meditation is my thing now, but not sure to follow the lesser or greater vehicle.

How about you Kath?

The last martial arts experience I had was meeting Michelle Leoh at work!!! I was the typical star struck fan, my mind went blank and I pretty much froze. I did chat to her but mainly froze

katbaleu In reply to knowleser [2006-10-28 18:36:08 +0000 UTC]

I've taken some tai chi and chi gung classes too. Actually just started a new tai chi class this week but I'm not really digging the teacher's methods. I think I'll stick to my videotapes I got from the last class I took. So how's thing's over in Cornwall? Isn't Cornwall where they have the "Run to the Sun" Festival?

I can understand getting a little tongue tied around Michelle Leoh. She was so beleivably sinister in Memoirs in a Geisha.

knowleser In reply to katbaleu [2006-10-28 19:08:57 +0000 UTC]

'Run to the Sun' or RTTS is on the south coast of Cornwall near Newquay. Most of my mates are over there as that's where I first lived when I moved there and where I still mainly surf. I've moved to the North coast now as it's closer to work (Eden Project).

I've not gone to the RTTS this year, not really my thing any more. It used to be bettles and surfers, but mainly street cars now, still a good live gig there though.

Do you work in art? Where aboouts are you if you don't mind me asking?

katbaleu In reply to knowleser [2006-10-28 21:58:13 +0000 UTC]

Hey Chris,
I tried to go to RTTS about 8 years ago but my then boyfriend insisted we go camping and surfing in Bude instead. Of course it then rained most of the weekend and no one even surfed because there were no waves *bluurgh*. I did get to walk around Tintangel though, which was nice.

I'd be happy to answer your other questions but I think it might be better if you e-mailed me directly. It's just that other's can read this so it might be better if we kept more personal info just between each other. My e-mail info is on my website listed above so you can get my e-mail there. I didn't see any e-mail or website info on your user page otherwise I would've written to you directly. Never know what kind of people are reading this stuff, you know what I mean?

I noticed that you favorited a couple of the same deviations I've favorited. That one illustration of the girl pointing her feet at the camera is just insanely photographically detailed, isn't it? I'm in awe of some of the talent around here. Truly inspirational.

Anywho, hope to hear from you soon
