Hi Scott:Chuck Andreatta and Kyle and I met up for lunch today (I retired at the end of August) and your name came up, so I went looking for your website when I got home. Your portraits are terrific. It's so good to see someone following the general lead of the likes of Titian, rather than bleeping Jackson Pollock, and succeeding at it!Bill

Hi Scott, my name is Karl Jóhann Jónsson and i am an artist from Iceland and I often paint portraits among other things. I like your work and I am especially interested in your technique becourse i like using transparent/glazing tec.so I got excited when I saw the way you handled your portrait. I have a few questiones. What medium do you use with the paint, in particular your glazing medium and in your transparent work,after you have finished your underpainting, are your colors newer opaque/mixed with white or is the highlight always a shine from the underpainting? Could you also give me som idea of how many layers you use in the end. I know it is different each time.Best regard, Karl

Dear Scott, I can't tell you how impressed I am with the collection of work that you've created. I talked to your father this morning and he gave me your website, which is a true wonder to see. It was a bit like visiting with you for awhile. You've moved along in your life so well. It's a bit difficult to connect the Scott Bartner whose wisdom and creativity I see here, with the little boy and young man I knew years ago. Those things on your website that most impressed me are your dedication, the portrait of Janneke, the three stages of portraits, which I'm not sure are photographed in three stages or are presented to your client as a triptych (in either case, they make a very interesting presentation), your daughter, and your absolutely exquisite drawings. I have been working on illustrating nature books and enjoying it tremendously. Your Dad and I agreed that often people settle into their true niche after retirement, but you have found your niche long before that and have a long career of creating beauty ahead of you. All my best, Trudy
