  I have never stolen a Bible...I have never been 95, I have never painted a portrait like you do....oh, well - but, I do apprecioate your kind comments and objective feedback.
  
  Hope you are well. My best.

  I'm not guilty of the first two either... :)
  and I cannot create abstracts like you do and absolutely certainly not one a day...gulp... ;)

  Hello Kim,
  
  That was a very fitting rainbow... you should've caught it. Anyway, I feel it's a sign of better things to come.:-)
  
  What an inspiring woman that is, who might yet complete her PhD at almost a hundred.
  
  If I would ever steal, it certainly wouldn't be a bible. A painting perhaps, or an art piece.:-)
  
  At least you're back on the blog scene and working on a portrait, which are both well suited to your elements and talents. Perhaps when I'm 95 I would take medicine - it won't be in school nor a hospital - but from a medicine cabinet. :-) I don't even know if I want to live that long! Have a pleasant day! :-) --Durano, done!

  Gorgeous rainbow photograph.
  
  Alex's portrait is wonderful - can't be much more to do on it? How will you know when it is finished?
  
  My Lord! 95! I don't have that much energy now!
  
  Congrats on your well-deserved award...
  
  There are 2 of me in the USA (if you see what I mean)
  
  Nope, never stolen a bible either!

  Hello Kim,
  
  You did catch the rainbow.How silly of me, I misread it. Getting old eh? :-) --Durano, done!

  rainbows are pretty common over here and usually they are very close...
  but I haven't really caught one yet Durano :)
  95 is a wonderful age to reach especially with such mental faculties...
  obviously there is a need for free bibles if people have to steal them...I definitely think stealing an art work...especially a famous one would be more publicised :):)
  
  
  only two of you Diane...wow that makes you rare :)
  I have a feeling that Alexander's Portrait will go through a few changes yet ;)
  glad to hear that you are not a bible thief !!

  Hi Mrs Pablo Picasso,
  
  Someone has been posting magical Covert Comical Comments for the chickens! :-)
  
  Nice capture of the rainbow, mother nature's artwork!
  
  You may have found the perfect running mate for John McCain. At McCain's age, he will need the Medical Science expertise of Phyllis! ;-)
  
  Congratulations on your well deserved award!

  I love rainbows, and often stop what I am doing to just take them in. Two double rainbows are first to mind. One time while golfing (hard to believe) I was caught between two large powerful storms. I was in a patch of sun. The double rainbow stood out brightly ... vibrantly against a backdrop of dark purples. It was so increadible that I sat down on the grass for about 7 minutes until they dispersed.
  They say there's a Pot O Gold at the end, but I prefer to see the promise of the Lord.
  
  Ok, I am very novice with art, but the portrait seems pretty complete. I guess from past experience, your end results are always breathtaking. It would be fun to watch you working. Maybe someday you could do a short video blog showing your skills in action. That would be very interesting!!!
  
  Have a super week my friend. I am meeting with all of the "Kim Barkers" in America (USA) tomorrow. I might even shave .... nahhh, that's crazy talk (smile)

  thanks Miss MP :)
  Phylls would be an asset just about anywhere....the world definitely needs more brainpower like hers !!
  
  I once drove under a double rainbow Speedy...
  it was a magical experience :)
  Alexander is now wearing a black suit with a black background...
  a video is a great idea....
  I will keep that in mind ;)

  I see the stormy skies you've been having, Kim, but that rainbow is quite a consolation prize!
  
  Alex's portrait is looking great. I fancy that I can see some of your character in his face. Am I right?
  
  Congrats on your award!
  
  As for the "did you know" stuff, truth is stranger than fiction. Imagine one who feels him or herself to be religious, stealing the Bible! "Tsk, tsk," is all I have to say.

  congrats on your award!! and the rain. I know that must be very welcome in your part of the world.
  Your painting is really beautiful.
  Hum...the bible? interesting.
• Kim 24.4.08
  
   

  lol Lynda...
  you're right ...the truth is stranger than fiction !!!
  Alexander has a bit of me in him...but I suppose that's to be expected seeing I'm his Mum ..haha...:)
  the rainbows here are beautiful especially when you get the double ones....so that is a bonus with the rain :)
  
  
  hi Lyndsay ..
  and thanks :)
  the rain seems to be coming down in bucket loads....it definitely has been raining cats and dogs over here as they say...
  I just hope it clears for Anzac Day tomorrow :)

  Do they steal the Bible to check the Ten Commandments?
• Kim 24.4.08
  
   

  haha Frances...
  you could be right there :)
  I didn't think of that !!

  The portrait of Alexander looks awesome. Wish I could have a look upfront. :-D
  A good news though. My mathematical artwork FUSION has been selected for the prestigious Bridges Maths Arts Conference at Netherlands this year.

  The portrait look might fine Kim, and I'm always up for an inspiring story.
  Nice work catching the rainbow.
• Kim 26.4.08

  What a lovely picture of the rainbow and a great start to the portrait too!
  
  I can't believe it: 0 people called Renny in Norway? I mean its not a Norwegian, but an Irish name ?
  
  Wishing you a wonderful end to your week Kim :-)

• Kim 27.4.08
  
   

  you're welcome Anandi :)

  I wouldn't have guessed that your name is Irish :)

  How in the world do you get any art done with all this research?
  I found that I am the only person with my name; I wonder if that ever happens for a guy?
  How is your shoulder coming along? I finally got my EMG/SER/VER/BAER testing done and get the results on the 7th. Did you get those tests too?
• Kim 28.4.08
  
   

  I'm not getting a lot done at all Ascender....
  it must feel good to know that you are have a unique name....
  mine seems to be pretty common in the US :)
  that's a lot of tests...
  I had x rays and ultrasounds on both shoulders...
  your tests sound far more complicated.. :0
  I hope your results come back fine :)
