It’s a good watch and I am still fascinated as
to how people paint so well. The idea of a painting travelogue fascinates me
and could be a winner for you - because many people can paint but they can’t
film to the level required to achieve the effect. You can. If you start making
better videos than me I shall be very annoyed. – Mike McKimm, correspondent
for BBC Northern Ireland

Your DVD has hit a motivating chord with my
wife Maurine. Yesterday morning, Maurine, having gone over your DVD with me
two times the previous evening, asked to borrow my brushes, a canvas, and my
acrylics. – Charley Morgan, yacht designer

This is such a well done video: so beautiful,
informative and inspiring. I don’t know anything about painting but it makes
me feel like I’d like to start. It made me feel as though I were on the
painting trip with you and your family. Yet at the same time it was so relaxed
and personal. It was also quite full of instruction, from paint choices to
procedures to many philosophical aspects of rendering a final work. –

I came across your work on the internet. I hope
you put more demons online as they are so helpful to me and I’m sure lots of
others. I’m planning to start following one of your other demos soon. My
husband Tom bought me some acrylic paints yesterday so I’m ready to start. I
am going on 60 and will be checking your site often for updates. - Sheryl

I just had to tell you how awesome your video’s
are. I hope that you are going to parlay this into making some teaching videos
for art students to buy. I never have understood why the powers that be never
picked up on you as a teacher and replaced Bob Ross with a great instructor
like you. Please think about it. There aren’t that many great teachers and you
are the best, good teachers are a gift. – Susan Shultz, Clearwater

I enjoyed sitting in and listening as you
painted, it is always satisfying to watch a picture come to life. What a
peaceful video, I happened upon it via Google Video. I hope if you ever come
to Prague, you’ll feel free to let me know. – Booda from the Chez Republic
- I found yur painting demos by chance and have thouroughly enjoyed them. I was to take a workshop in Gibsons B.C. this summer in acrylic but I wasn't able to do it. I'd purchased a bunch of acrylic paints etc. and didn't have the foggiest clue how to begin. They seemed so different from the oils I usually paint in. You completely took the mystery out of it for me. Your demos are a pleasure to watch, the pace is good and I love that you include the beautiful surrounding scenery as well. It feels like someone gave me a gift. Thank you so much for the putting these online. It is so generous on your part. Tracey Mardon - Edmonton, Alberta
- Just a short note to let you know that I find your online demo videos most instructive and a joy to watch paintings come to life. I think you may be the only artist that takes so much time and energy in producint joy for others. I watch your videos not once but repeatedly because, as I said, they are extremely instructive. Many thanks.

- They are tremendous, absolutely breathtaking, very relaxing and interesting much like a travelogue.
Kate Fox - Director of Enhanced Programming -Tampa Bay News 9
- I stumbled across your videos and have been hooked ever since. I'm learning more by watching your videos than I ever did from reading any art books. I hope you continue making these great videos. Dean Anderson, Pennsylvania

I’ve spent the last half hour viewing the
painting video demonstration “In the Garden.” I learned a great deal from it.
Seeing an artist paint is like hearing an author read his own work; when the
author reads with conviction, purpose, and strength in their voice, it comes
through loud and clear. The same can be said for your video. – Mary Kelly,
St. Petersburg

I love your videos. I watch them over and over.
I too paint outdoors with acrylics. Keep the videos coming…they are very
helpfull. You explain everything. –Paul Ciuppap, New Jersey

I have had the pleasure of knowing many
talented people. I am always amazed at your ability to frame things so
delightfully. Your painting video (seen on Google) is so much more satisfying
to watch than my high definition TV. Even though teams of people and gobs of
money have been spent, they typically fall far short of your work. How a
fellow with a camera and home editing equipment can produce this level of
product is beyond belief. – Harvey Kerstein, Clearwater

I was surfing the web today and lucky me, I
found your website and your wonderfully informative videos and artwork that
are, to put it simply-fantastic. Your superb renderings of the beauty of
nature are truly inspiring. And, not only do you have a wonderous talent in
the flick of your wrist with a loaded brush, but your musings and ability to
convey techniques of the trade in an easy to understand language are also
Kodak of your inner heart. I just had to let you know your work inspires me to
try harder and harder. Thanks for all the wonderful videos. I’ve had 30 years
of learning and your 30 minute videos taught me that there is much more to
learn - Ginger Jamerson, Virginia

I was enthralled with your paintings and have
much enjoyed watching your painting videos. I am new to painting, and I now
have a new appreciation and insight as to why I found such enjoyment in
looking at your art. – Barbara Budan, North Carolina

I have been introducing my artist friends to
your painting videos on Video Google. You now have quite a fanclub in
Colchester. - Kerry Harris, Colchester, UK

- Your videos have been extremely helpful to me as an artist. I have approached acrylics again (after leaving them in high school; many years ago!), and just watching you work is invaluable in my efforts.
I also wanted to thank you for your blog. I read it faithfully, and have taken many of the entries to heart. When I get discouraged, I re-read your postings, and find inspiration to continue. I have followed your career over the years, and I have always admired your artwork. Even the smallest of tips ("Light Leans Towards Color") reveals your insight. - Michael Brugh, Mobile Alabama
- I'm a professional painter and art teacher here in Rio de Janeiro.
I discovered your marvelous site, and your terrific videos, that was extremely useful for me.
Sergio Chermont/ Rio de Janeiro
- Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing expert knowledge with me. The plein air demonstrations are worth there weight in gold to myself as an artist.
