You have a giant heart, and that shows in your artwork. Keep painting girl - the world needs you!! <3<br />Kimberly Kelly Santinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142362424917327552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36560943.post-31969614134010350542019-04-08T11:12:35.917-04:002019-04-08T11:12:35.917-04:00Kim, I want to thank you for inspiring me years ag...Kim, I want to thank you for inspiring me years ago, first, to design monthly downloadable calendars featuring my feline artwork, and later my nature and wildlife artwork. At the time I'd also just begun my daily cat sketches, and living with a house of five black cats I started having fun with local and non-representational color, moving toward abstracts sometimes in pencil and ink. I studied your paintings each day in 2012-2013 and on, and developed a body of innovative feline artwork that I have used in shows and in merchandise I create, imprinting my art onto it somehow. That loosened up my commissioned work and while typically, most people want a standard portrait, a clear memory, now and then they want me to play and I love it. I still study your work pretty much each day.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04208737162506351497noreply@blogger.com
