Bonnie Halsey Dutton and I have been friends for 24 years. We met at an art opening in West Chester, Pennsylvania. At the time Bonnie was new to the area and looking to connect with fellow artists. The rest is history. We have been good friends ever since.
I have travelled to Bonnie’s home in Spearfish, South Dakota and Bonnie has stayed with me in Wales and London. We have also enjoyed working and playing in France with our mutual artist friend Mariethe Salort.
Bonnie is currently studying at the University of Arizona…and several months ago conducted an online interview with me on how I use the internet and social media for my work in general and more specifically for teaching purposes. As part of the same project she made this video.

You will note that there are Magical Hummingbirds in the video:) HummingbirdHQ.com

My Life as an Artist (2) 
Fantastic work. I always love seeing artists at work. Thanks Janet! I’m going to check you friend too!
Good morning Olga…thank you so much…enjoy your day:)
My connection is such today that the video stops and starts. Very frustrating! I shall have to save it for another day.
I just caught you before bed and book…I hope you have better luck tomorrow, although I have uploaded the video to youtube now. Good night.
Success today. Brilliant to see you in action, Janet! I longed, though, for the camera to pan up to your face and see your look of concentration. More, more!
Good morning Sarah…thank you so much…and glad that you were able to see. Hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend. 🙂
How lovely to see you painting, a real pleasure for me! Isn’t it amazing what you can do with social media, I wonder where it will all end up!xxx
Good morning dear Dina….yes, social media has changed everything. I have over 90 countries following my blog….which even ten years ago would have seemed like science fiction! Where it will all end…who knows. The positive elements are great, but I do wonder about the negative elements…and where it will take us…HOping you are enjoying a wonderful weekend. Janet:)xx
Fabulous to see you *as* you work, and perhaps even more so, to hear your own voice, which I will now hear as I read your posts!!! Ms. Halsey Dutton has managed to produce marvel of condensed portraiture, a very compact yet telling glimpse of who you are as an artist and how you work. I love it. 😀
xoxoxo,
Kathryn
Good morning Kathryn, Thank you so much. Bonnie is a fellow artist who I have enjoyed working with over the years on different projects. I hadn’t realised that she was making this video and so it came as a lovely surprise.
I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend:)xxx
