Dear Em, many thanks for signng my guestbook and for your lovely words :-) I was enchanted in admiring your art portfolio. I especially loved the mystic atmosphere of Billabong and Flight. Dolphins is so real that it seems to be in front of an aquarius. Very well done. Take care. Alberto from Torino, Italy

Hi Em; I am glad that you enjoyed the butterflies> I must say trhat coming from an artist of your ability it makes me feel very humble. I love the Bearded Collie. I have a faithful loving one myself. Would love to what you would do to one of my sunsets on canvas. Keep up the magnificient work. Your friend "Pokey" from Alabama

said pokey1930 2004.06.06 at 14:29:24 PDT

Hello, Em. Thanks for your comments on my photos. I was amazed at the flood of responses that came in via email. Your artwork is stunning--to say the least. I'm an Australian too, although I haven't lived in Oz for over 20 years now. You have a great gift, and thanks for sharing both your photos and your kindness. I've travelled Australia extensively, all states, more than once, and you've really captured the moods, colors, and expressions of the land. I've worked with artists in the past, and it's a gift that has always made me marvel. I'm glad you enjoyed my photos, and I've certainly enjoyed yours. Much appreciation, Peter

Wow! You have a wonderful talent! Each one of these is more beautiful than the last, thanks for sharing!

Hi Em, I just love this Swagman pic, it almost looks in 3D. I love your entire collection, your are very talented. By the way, are you anywhere near Noosa?

said nuttex 2004.06.20 at 09:20:39 PDT

YOu have a wonderful talent and liked nearly all of your pieces. The calla lily painting is gorgeous as well as the Hibiscus just leaps out at you with loads of colour. Your Orphelia looks so tragic, and the colour so perfect for the mood. But my all time favourite is the SWAGMAN just love everything about that picture and has so much character! Swaggy is pretty good too but wow the swagman just blows me away. Well done and thanks for sharing your many gifts. What a pleasure to thumb through your albums.

said kester110 2004.06.27 at 03:07:54 PDT

said lindagrahek 2004.08.24 at 15:02:27 PDT

Em, Thanks a lot for all your nice messages. I am honoured that you asked me for permission to paint one of my pictures. You have it ! As a painter myself (on my free time) I know that photos and images are a great source of imagination ! Please just tell me which photo you wish to paint, so that I don't paint the same one (I intend to prepare a collection for some exhibition at the Re Island. I guess the paintings on your album are some you made. They are very nice and well made. I can recognize a canva of J. Waterhouse, one of my favorite painters. Your other albums are beautiful too. It looks like professional work : nice colors, well chosen lights and shadows... Congratulations ! Cécile from France (Morocco is my dear Husband's Country).

Hi Em, Thnaks for coming back to visit me again and for the very kind words, your message acted as a rimnder to come and see you again. Of course you can paint the deer image. Would you like me to send the full res image on cd to you? It would bre an absolute honour to have one of my images painted by you, I really love your work.I've just moved back to Scotland and into a new house so I don't get as much time as I used to either taking photos or viewing the work of others.My camera is a Nikon D100 (which has been superceeded by th D70 I believe) and I'm very happy with it.I just have some very inexpensive Sigma lenses on it which ideally I'd like to update.If you want me to send you a disc please email me at fastmotorbikes@hotmail.co m with your address and I'll pop it in the post.Keep up the great work Em and I'll be back to visit you real soon. Keep Happy and Healthy:-)Craig

Hi Em, Mike from Idaho again. Thanks for your comments in my fall album I plan on doing another one soon. This art album is excellent I admire people that can see something and then transform it on canvas. My favorite is “The Meal” such great detail. And looking at it for a while I could feel the presence of the subject. Thanks for sharing your art with us. Love and peace forever. Mike

Em, I always loved your photo's but when I look at your paintings, they shock me, they are so beautiful. I don't know why you think I can paint, but then you have a screwloose as I've found out. Yes you owe me a response to calling you a tasmanian devil. With all the people that view your albums, do they know how many facets there are to you? You are unbelievably talented, but in the mental area, you are definately' AUSSIE" :), demented,, and often spontaneous... your nice, sweet, calm, reserved, quiet friend. Melody

And sure you have a lot of humor - as you can laugh about my Webcamera face! Thanks for that! I wasn't sure if I should leave it on the Web or not. But your laughter encourage me to leave it there - at least for a while! ;) Back to your Portfolio: that vision makes me curious what you were seeing.

I suspect I will not have access to internet as from the end of this month. I would like to explain to you why. It just could be possible that I will not be able to view your painting because of this, and I do not want you to rush it.

I love the photos in your album especially the landscape paintings and the beautiful flower photos ( esp. frangipani ). I am an artist painting in oils Florida, USA and as such I am always looking for photos that inspire me and yours certainly do inspire. Thanks for taking the time to create the album and the beautiful photos . Would you mind if I used one of your flower photos for the basis for a painting? I’ll be watching for future contributions of yours. Thanks again.

Dear Em,I am overwhelmed by your entry in my 'My paintings' album. Such praise would be SO encouraging under any circumstances, but coming from such an accomplished artist as you are, is praise indeed! I'm so pleased you enjoyed 'saplings' so much, and thank you from my heart for all you kind words. They made my day....This is an album of amazing paintings, you are SO talented. The apples, (1) are so real, they make my mouth water....Glad too that you liked our Harvest Festival efforts. I think the ladies who arrange the flowers, and the windowsill set pieces, are artists in their own right....There is a story about my 'little' Windsor album, I was uploading the photos, got the first two, back to my photosuite, whole set completely disappeared! Hunted high and low, but not a sign of them. Great mystery. Anyway, have taken up enough of your guestbook space, could chat with you lots, but mustn't be greedy. :-)..best wishes, my friend, God bless,...Sheila.

Em, you know you're pretty good at these paintings, I especially like the hibiscus painting or, pardon me, is it really a painting? In my little home town, a painter asked me once if the picture I was having framed was a painting, she asking me the painters' name. I told her it was a photograph and thanked the lady for commenting. This pix is within my Scenic Ocean album, called "Wave Curl at Seawall". I'm downloading this one, should've done it a long time ago. Seasons Greetings to you and yours and do have a more successful year in 2005 than you've had in the past!! Ron/Oregon Coast

said yannic101 2005.01.30 at 08:53:18 PST

em - your paintings are absolutely stunning and whats so impressive is the variety of styles you use. I see the trees of the billabong painting and see an almost Dali-esque lighting that looks like reality and a dreamstate. Another favorite is the swagman with absolute detail surrounded by surreality. Cant wait to see more! josh - california

I love water birds and your egret is a dream with all the rest of the painting. You are a great artist and I truly admire your work,send you a warm hug. kathy /southern California

said katifelkai 2005.04.05 at 22:42:07 PDT

Hello, Em from Aussie, I am following on the heels of my dear friend Kathy (katifelkai), whom I sent a Webshots card of your painting of Billabong, and who had been aware of your albums before, as I found out. First, thank you for your very nice comments in my two albums on California - I hope some day you get to travel along California's seashore and get to see its beauty first hand. Thanks to your comments, I discovered a treasure trove of beautiful albums I had not been aware of. I just visited a few of your albums so far and plan to return for more views and some downloads. Right now I concentrated on your lovely paintings and some flower albums. Your paintings are exquisite and show how multi-talented you are , painting such lovely landscapes, portraits and fantasy creations with the same ease and success. I have some of mine under 'francismi'- but am a total failure at portraits and fantasy or abstract creations. In this particular album, I am absolutely in love with your painting of your Billabong (like that name better than our 'Blue Heron' )- also like the apples (ready to bite into), and admire the detail you had to go into with your "Tallship&qu ot; - just to name a few. Having done that, you must be familiar with all it takes to sail your own boat, I bet! With my best wishes and greetings from Florida - bruno

Some very nice work. I wish I could paint like that. If you would like to use some of my photos for your art work feel free. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Its been ages since viewing your paintings Em, believe you may have added a few. #20 the Gainsboro painting, I have a very old (stamped) lithograph of a bust of that very same women in her great hat. It is still in it's original frame with it's wooden back and hand made nails. I too love Gainsboro.(Hope I'm spelling his name right?)Take care, Laura

I spelled it wrong....went back and checked your spelling..OOPS! ;0o

Hello Em, I just took a photo of the Gainsborough lithograph I have so you can see it. Look at the end of my floral crafts album. Also wrote something just for you ...

said hereslaura 2005.06.11 at 11:27:24 PDT

Hello Em I do hope you don't think I painted the Gainsborough in the frame, or the other framed one. They are old lithograth prints by master artists. I just collect these type prints. My painting is actually an Elk. I do have other wildlife paintings scattered about in my family. I gave all my paintings away. Don't have even one in my house today. About your e-address I am thinking you might want me to delete that entry? Let me know. Big Hug, and thank you so much for your ever so kind words of incouragement. Laura

Dear Em, a fresh view of your collection - an occasion to delight again in your creations. The Billabong series is very close to my heart; next the apples-1 is so well done I almost want to have one of the apples;Hibiscus and lillies are magnificent;Beaded Collies , so lovely; The Letter and Swaggy are masterpieces!What a joy it must be for you to have been blessed with this talent! Best wishes from Gabriela

WOW! Em! You are quite the artist! I didn't know this. :) BEAUTIFUL. I especially loved 'Ophelia' because of the 'romantics period'...'Pre-Raphaelite ' AND 'The pioneers' which reminded me of VanGoghs paintings of the coal- miners and everyday people. (VanGogh being one of my favorite artists.) Also Marilyn Munroe...very neat and nostalgic...just needs her blouse pulled up! HEE! HEE! Your body of work is varied and a lot of unique styles. I love that. You don't limit yourself. I enjoyed your visit to my vintage pictures album. I hope to add a lot more when my camera gets out of the repair shop! (My baby!!) I miss it so! Talk to you again soon. April in Salem, Oregon

Beautiful Em !!~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow Em - these are georgeous! Awesome to see art other than photography and I especially love how you are so much into the old styles of painting. Personally I think this requires more talent than a lot of modern art, but it may be a taste thing! Wonderful how you've used your local landscape influnce with the billabong paintings also. All the very best with your artwork in the future and thanks so much for sharing your talent with us! Regards, Kate (New Zealand)
