Scott
This is what a classic should look like. I too wish I had painted this. The child looks so present....Ah, and a bleated happy birthday to you...(just read your short bio).

Scott I am with Garth and Kim on this one... it's my favorite!

You have caught such a wonderful innocence with this young lady that just goes beautifully with your glazing. The colors look great to me so this must blow your socks off in person. Perhaps it will be hanging next to Garth's in the future!

Garth sure gets around... except when it comes to seeing those near his MOTHER! ;)

Thanks Carlos & Beth.

I know Garth certainly won my folks over. After he left, my father hit me over the head with a rolled up newspaper yelling, "why can't you paint like that?!"

What?!

I had better have a talk with your father. Surely you exaggerate!

That sounds just like a line my dearly departed father would have uttered!

Actually the ghost of my father soon thereafter paid me a visit, imploring me to paint from the superior example of Scott Bartner.

Scott, it was such a treat getting to meet you and your family. I enjoyed the stimulating conversations your father had with us in his studio loft.

Garth ;)

Garth, how exactly are you employing that Blockx Ambre dissous?
The pleasure was ours. Perhaps next time if my father gets around to straightening up his studio, we'll have more room to carry on a conversation.
