Diane Richmond: Francine,
Your Bob Ross paintings are just beautiful! I really enjoyed viewing your paintings. I just recently have been watching his art classes on the Create channel and am fascinated with it. I look forward to trying to do his painting.
I recently ( Nov. 2008 ) became an OSCI and enjoyed it. I didn't get to meet Donna but had Kim Barone and she was great. We did get to talk with Donna over the cell phone. I'm trying to start my own business and am currently painting murals in my churches bathrooms. I'm presently painting three at once since I can only paint during certain days and hours with the Christian Childhood Center. If you're interested in viewing my one stroke picture trail here is the address: www.picturetrail.com/homepage/dianerichmondonestroke I'll look back at your website again to see what else you're painting.
Sandi: Dear Francine,
I really enjoy your website. It is encouraging and inspirational.Your art work is beautiful and diversive in many styles of painting. I will
visit often. Congratulations on winning Darrell Crows drawing of his
Oil Painting of Storms A' Coming. Thank you for sharing your wonderful website.
God bless you and have a healthy and prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,Sandi

Rick McFarland: I am sooooo interested in learning the Bob Ross wet on
wet technique. I cannot find any ceritfied Bob Ross instructors in the central Ohio area. Could you please reccommend any such artist in my area. Or, are you doing any seminars in my area in the future that I could possibly attend. I only recently started oil painting using Bob Ross' instructional book received as a gift and now I can't spend enough time painting :) Thank you for any assistance you may be able to give me.Respectfully,
Rick McFarland

Your pansies are awesome too! I'll come back to check out more of your photos as soon as I get the chance. Diana :)
Dolores Ruskin: I have viewed your seascapes and found the landscapes equally as impressive. I am viewing your website a little at a time as to do it all at once is not possible. There is so much to see and want to enjoy it all. You paint beautifully!!
Dolores Ruskin: This is a fabulous website. I will be viewing it a little at a time as there is so much to look at. Your Home Page is very inviting and love that little artist at the bottom. Next I did the contact. You could not have made it any simpler for people to get involved.

Don't forgot the paint in next fall.

Diane Richmond: Your work is beautiful. There are so many things that I like about your painting. I love your website and will continue to look back to see what you paint. It is a great inspiration to me. I finally got the nerve to paint on my walls, and if came out really good. I hope to get better like you someday. I hope the certifications will someday be in my area again so I can take it. This is so much fun to do. I'm no longer afraid to paint on the walls. I hope to attempt to paint on unfinished furniture that I bought for my daughter. I need to practice roses. Keep up the great work.
Cindy Litt OSCI: i love your paintings. What did you use for the hangers for your signs they are great. Also love your cats. Great window seat. My cat went crazy yesterdayabout 6 am and climbed over me in bed to hear the baby birds out our bedroom window... Spring is here at last.
Keep up the great painting. I'll be back to check out the landscapes more

JudyJ: I am still looking at all your beautiful paintings.. It appears that some of your stroke work is done on canvas. What do you paint on canvas prior to doing the one stroke. Gosh I have so many questions for you, I hate to fill up your guestbook, but I am so excited about trying something like you have done, but I think I have a long way to go. I am not discouraged, just want to paint, paint and then paint some more, in-between looking at your paintings... Would love to see more of your talent.
JudyJ: I am over whelmed at your paintings. I just started one stroke about 2 months ago and I would love to know how you get your teddy bears so perfect... I just started a class on internet and we are about to start cat and dog with scruffy brush. My cat looks like anything but a cat.. How do you get the white to look so white, mine is a mess. I have been looking at the emails from everyone and looking at the picture albums and I was taking by your pictures I had to write to you. Fabulous painting.
Dolores Ruskin: I have several pieces of Francine's One Stroke painting art in my home and they never go unnoticed when guests arrive. Am planning to give these as gifts to friends and family. You've got a great talent!
Stephen Henderson: Excellent pics. Would like to see more!
