Linda L. Kano's Comments

Hi Linda,  thank you for your comment on Memories #4 Jacks.. We all have great memories of things we had and played with as kids.. Sometimes we need to be poked into remembering.. That's what I'm doing.. Enjoy the memories..  Chuck :)  XX

Friends we will be!!!   Chuck :)

Hi Linda, I am delighted to have you as a friend on this sight and in life in general.  We can never have to many friends and artistic friends are at a premium!!   I live Yuma, AZ and have for 55yrs.. but honestly am not familiar with Meadview, AZ, where is that located?  Chuck :)  XX

Hi Linda, Thank you for the nice comment on Mr Bear!  :)   I found scratch art 11 months ago while on a trip to the UK.  I visited 5 different artists I had met online and one in Southern England was a scratch artist, and a really good one also.  She let me have a few scratches and when I returned to Arizona I got some scratch supplies and as he say the rest is history. :)   Several nice things about it is that it's not messy and you can start and stop without fear of having problems restarting..  I use watercolor paint for my coloring..  I have a paragraph about scratch art explaining it and would be happy to send it along if you are interested.  It's a great medium for doing animals and especially pets..   Chuck :)    XX 

PS   where is Meadview, AZ????

Hello Linda!  Yes, I remember your paintings after looking through your work! You seem to be doing well with your painting efforts.  There is some very nice pieces in your collection. I very much enjoy the VAA coursework and the people.  Great interactions over there and a good compliment to this site.

Thank you Linda for your comment on my SPARKLING SANTIAGO.. I am also in the search of my personal style... HAPPY PAINTINGS!

Thank you for your friend request Linda.  I would love to be your friend.

Glad to be your friend Linda and so sorry to see you have recently lost your Dad

Of course Linda!!!! I was surprised we were not friends!!!! It is as if we were friends for a looong time already!!!! :)!

Wonderful that you made the trip when you did - certainly time and more memories to treasure.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers:)

Hi Linda and thank you so much for the friend request and for taking time to look at my paintings,I appreciate it! I am happy to be your friend!

Warmest regards,

Cristina 

HI Linda, I saw your comment on Donna's JV workshop of the Grand Canyon. How are you coming along? My eyes are totally crossed on this one...SO much to judge and compare! I'm sick of looking at this and want to move on, so will be posting it in the next couple days. Way behind in other paintings. RR's workshop isn't going to happen, too much ice and cold to be out. Will be using his good plein air instruction come Spring! Haven't been on line much, pretty slow, but to be expected this Holiday time of the years Hope all is well with you and yours and you are painting madly.

Thank you Linda, that's kind of you. lake Gairdner is in the Gawler ranges in South Australia, west of the Flinders ranges. This painting is the road near the huge salt lake ( 99miles long x 30miles across)

Thank  you for your comment on my WS25 painting.  Fire in the Sky #3.  I appreciate your encouragement very much. 

I moved back to Prescott in 2002, I was raised here, was very happy here and always missed it. That was the "good" bend, new life on the way. The "bad" bend was when my parents followed me within 2-3 months, and my path never got farther from Prescott (literally and figuratively) than caretaking them. Dad passed 8 months after moving, mom is 88. Dialysis, hospitals, all that and more. Thankfully, one of my brothers has moved to Prescott after falling on hard times, and I'm starting over, once again. So once more I'm looking at a "good" bend, just not the one I had envisioned!

Good morning Linda. It is raining much needed cats and dogs here at the moment, again...or is that still? Thank you for being a "friend". You are living the life I had hoped to before the bend in the road took me away from the possibility. When my house sells, I will be relocating to central CA, as in Bakersfield. That is where my youngest son, one daughter and 5 grandchildren reside. There will be lots of coast painting opportunities as well as farmlands, mountains, lakes, forests...about anything one could want within a couple hours driving. CA is quite beautiful, not excited about the loss of freedoms and high taxes though! Just time, (at least my kids think so) :)
