Scott Bartner, Artist's Magazine, Jan 2005

[Leslie Ficcaglia]

Scott, let me add my congratulations to the others'. The Portrait of Jennifer Laoang is just magnificent; the subtle colors and your rendering of her features are exquisite. Can't wait to hear your reaction when you actually see the article!

[Mike McCarty]

Scott,

Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery and congrats regarding the well deserved recognition.

[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

Scott,

Sorry I won't be able to read this article, but whatever it says I am sure is fully deserved.

The portrait of the boy is set aside for a while, but I definetely decided to work on it my way rather than yours (just too difficult)!

Many many congratulations, thanks for stopping by at my "show", it's gone really well - I am supersatisfied.

Thank you Leslie. It might be a while before I see the magazine. They sent the copies I had ordered to my parent's address, and my father is already grumbling about the postage to forward them here.

Thanks Mike, I'm fully recovered waiting for the next virus. Couldn't someone like Norton invent a firewall for people?

Ilaria, I enjoyed your 2004 work and even learned a little Italian reading the guest book. I hope it brings you many new commissions.

Hi Scott,

I picked up my issue today. It looks great and is a terrific resource for those interested in learning your method. Well done and kudos to you!

One question. Did you give them transparencies to work from or send them digital files?

[Chris Saper]

WHAT! Linda's getting chocolates!? Can I have one when they arrive?

[Linda Brandon]

Absolutely not, Chris. You know I only do this Forum thing for the food benefits. Besides, it looks like I have just been cajoled into sending Scott a giant ABS panel.

[Scott Bartner]

Thanks Marvin.

Apparently TAM only works with slides although I sent them digital files which I don't think they used. As you may have noticed, Janine Jansen now bows with her left hand--amazing violinist!

Linda, far be it from me to suggest you share your chocolates with Chris. However, the minimum weight they would ship was 500 grams, that's 1/2 kilo, and I'm quite certain if you proceeded to eat them all in one sitting, you'd be painting like Willem de Kooning with his finger in a Christmas tree light socket.

Scott, I think this really is something because I don't recall many articles form outside the states. Maybe this is their first attempt at going after "International Artists" market? Congrats, Tim
