Not only are her portraits so very good but the empathy she showed to her subjects is a lesson for anyone painting portraits-truly inspirational.

She is engaging, interesting, passionate and a thorougly social creature (perhaps rare amongst artists). I loved her humour and the chaotic but totally understandable way she explains how it all happened. On top of that the paintings are beautiful. Makes me think about my own work....<br />fab stuff. Off to find if I can buy the book somewhere even if its only to remind myself of this talk.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305269093118541197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-85543137139345146532011-04-12T20:22:22.835+00:002011-04-12T20:22:22.835+00:00Hi Katherine, I always read your posts when they c...Hi Katherine, I always read your posts when they come to my inbox - and it is past time to really say thank you! I so enjoyed the video about Rose Frantzen - a gem - and something I would never have encountered without your post. Thank you!

Rose's energy and love of people, life and painting is so evident and wonderful. The fact that the actual experience of opening herself to others trumped the action of painting was the best part. Loved her website and I agree a workshop with Rose would be heaven!

But nevertheless, I only knew about how strongly you reccomended watching it, until I had actually finished watching it.<br />Sometimes I have to admit, I sleep off while watching art-videos because, even though the artist is painting really great pieces-their enthusiasm and body language doesn't keep me enraptured for long. But this lady is a dynamite-I listened almost with invisible tears-because she actually brought out emotions and feelings I have all blowing inside of me. I'll love to get my hands on anything she produces and also her workshops...someday...I'm dreaming.<br />I really enjoyed this and it has changed me. Serious! I went to my son's Primary School and volunteered to do art demonstrations for the whole day for each class and after it-I must agree- Art can affect people's lives. I ended up with loads of the most touching letters from these children. Children can break your heart!<br />So what Rose has done and what you do on a constant basis- is powerful!<br />God bless you!adebanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832505675979297771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-80907773778989674892011-04-11T23:57:45.884+00:002011-04-11T23:57:45.884+00:00Wonderfully inspirational artist --thanks for the ...Wonderfully inspirational artist --thanks for the post and the the video clip.Meera Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578893085543656099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-86652735119899702402011-04-11T19:22:21.978+00:002011-04-11T19:22:21.978+00:00thanks for bringing this video.it was a great expe...thanks for bringing this video.it was a great experiance seeing and listening to it.reuvenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928510991101536869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-12780134154208170962011-04-11T18:20:25.930+00:002011-04-11T18:20:25.930+00:00It seems my last comment was swallowed by the ethe...It seems my last comment was swallowed by the ether... This was brilliant, inspiring and well worth the watch.<br /><br />There were many "Yes!!" moments in it for me. I paint abandoned farm houses (mainly interiors) in my local area comprising of a few small towns, some little more than ghost towns. My curiosity and my background in history made it not enough to paint them, but, discover their stories. Getting permission to go inside them helped me to meet an amazing community of people in their 80's and 90's. They shared their stories and their experiences in what was often old family homes or businesses and I ended up with a wonderful collection of folklore, not in the history books to go along with the paintings. The stories and the paintings belong to the community. I paint them as they are, the stories tell of what they were.<br /><br />I related to Rose's story about her community. Last week a part of our main street was gutted by fire and that changes a place. <br /><br />The best art in any medium comes through us, not from us. Thanks for sharing this, Katherine!Michelle B.

I think I stumbled across her work through some other artists such as Jeremy Lipking and Alexei Steele. She is inspiring and her work seems almost effortless at times.<br /><br />And this project goes to prove that grants can be obtained if you have a sound idea and can follow through on it.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-11261534013260210022011-04-11T11:02:04.564+00:002011-04-11T11:02:04.564+00:00thanks Katherine!! just watched/listened to it whi...thanks Katherine!! just watched/listened to it while doing some filing and yes, totally inspirational!Liz Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180890583072227150noreply@blogger.com
