I have learnt more of the art of Classical Painting from your web page, than that I learnt in my four years in the Fine Art Academy. Thank you so much for give us this enlightenment in the field of fine painting. I admire you with, all my respect, from the bottom of my heart.

Scott . I also paint in the old masters style with esxtensive underapintings. I was wondering what you use for a meduioum to thin your glazes with and what colour combinations you favour for fleshtones in your paintings.I would likt to try your technique right away so if you have an opportunity could you respond. What brands of paint do you favour and do you choose transparent colours to use for the glazes?

Your work is beautiful. I love the dignity and calm you achieve. I feel like I am seeing some very faint influence from Balthus, and also an English portrait painter named Benedict Rubbra, but perhaps I am mistaken? In any case, your work is truly wonderful: all the best to you!

Mr. Bartner, I enjoy your work tremendously when I see it in the forum at SOG. But here at you site I cannot see any images of your work unless I right-click on the image place holder and choose "view image." I am using Mozilla Firefox and generally have no trouble with other sites, so I thought I would pass the information along to help out. Again, your work is truly lovely and I enjoy reading your posts. -Erin
