Hi Karen, Thanks for your comments on "Daddy Voice". In answer to your question, "How do you come up with so many different masks???", at least 80% of my mask paintings are of masks I have in my collection. I'm always looking for something to paint in each of them. Sometimes when I'm at a loss for what to do I just take one off the wall go for it. I still have a few masks around the house that I haven't painted yet. Some may never have that honor. We'll see...   -Don

Thanks for visiting my page.  I checked out your gallery.  I love how expressive your work is.  You've captured something completely different in each person you've painted.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for the compliment, andI do see the connection to your work. I love the individual approach that you take with your portraiture, they are very expressive and compelling.

I'm in the process of creating a new business enterprise while simultaneously begining a sincere promotional effort with my art. I'll write you back as I begin to get my web pages up and running.

Wishing you the best in creativity,

Scott

Hi Karen,

Thank you for your comment on Uncle Bill's hat. Unfortunately he died about 20 years ago. That painting is of his last felt hat, I also have his last straw hat and rodeo chaps which I plan to do a still life of. He was a real cowboy, quiet a man.

Hi, Karen - I'm glad to be your friend.  I took a look at your web site and saw that you, too, worked as a courtroom artist.  I find it to be a fun and challenging assignment.  Your work is engaging - I think "Are My Glasses On Straight?" is probably my favorite!

All the best - Skip
