    I’m very glad we’re now following each other. I can’t remember now whether you arrived at my blog via Benjamin Prewitt or not but you may not have realised that we have an off-line connection that involves, unless I’m very much mistaken, Julia Dennis and the Richmond area!

    Yeah!!! Hi Janet, it was lovely to meet you at The Advanced Course last weekend, I loved our interraction and how we laughed at the synchronicity of our differing life experiences dovetailing and relating so well to each other. I am looking forward now to the SELP and continuing through the door that opened as a result of the course. Lovely to experience your stunning and inspiring work, uplifting, vibrant and energising. Really exciting. I do hope our paths cross again soon, I have signed up to follow you on your blog and will enjoy the updates. Blessings, love, joy and happiness. Deborahxxxx

    I seek permission to use your Blue Heron image as part of a design marking a virtual airline. My hobby is flying aircraft in a virtual space online – a flight simulation. I have reached the point that I am undertaking developing my own airline. I found your image online and think it would work well as part of my logo. This would not be for resale and use would be very limited to myself and those few members in my hobby that might care to join my airline (most virtual airlines grow to a couple hundred pilots) Please let me know under what terms you would allow such use, if at all.
    Thank you.

      Good morning Bredt, Thank you for this intriguing comment. I would be happy to allow you to use the heron design…however, if your membership becomes as big as British Airways or Virgin Airlines, then we would need to negotiate some sort of a royalty fee:) Would you please send me a link to your virtual airline. Janet.

    The feeling of freedom that you’re expressing so well in your work is so powerful, so beautiful, the soul and the essence of life itself. I your love for colors I’m “reading” a world of positive emotions and a joyful celebrating of life. I think you’re very talented and I admire the beauty you’re bringing into the world by your creations.
    Thank you for visiting my blog! I’m honored to know that you liked my latest post and I feel blessed to be able to admire the artistic expression of your heart.
    Best wishes,
    Cari

    Hello Janet, me again …

    Here’s a little message from Türkiye to say “thank you”. I appreciate your ‘follow’, knowing how many interesting and entertaining blogs there are out there.

    Blogging since June 2013, my little corner of the world tries to offer an eclectic smattering of posts, from basic amateur photography, to sharing my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on our fruit farm in southern Turkey. I also throw in a few of my observations on life and lighter-hearted stuff for good measure.

    You are more than welcome to have a look around, stay a while and have a trawl through my small collection. There are plenty of drop-down categories within the menu bar to help in said digging process. Of course, if you have any comments, suggestions or concerns, feel free to let me know – I’m not easily offended 🙂

    Thanks again and hope you have a great day…

    Hi Janet, I found one of your hummingbird paintings through a google search and would like to use it as an accompanying picture for a blog post (www.brickandsky.com) because it’s such a perfect fit! Is that ok? I want to make sure I’m paying due respect to you as an artist. Peace & love, Ama

    Thank you for liking my posts. Your paintings are vibrant and beautiful. They show a happy, optimistic perspective on everything, which I and my writing totally lack. 🙂

    I noticed a few asking to use and share your art work in their endeavors. It gave me an idea. Is it possible to use some of your art for affirmations? I’ll be glad to share with you before posting. Of course I would add your name to the art. My affirmations are my original quotes. They are only shared on Facebook and Twitter. As you suggested to the virtual airline gentleman if his company becomes huge you would negotiate a fee. If I should ever receive money and/or offered money I’ll be happy to share. Thanks for improving our world with your beautiful art. The website, Hugs2Go.com, below is a parenting child supportive site. It doesn’t receive any monies. Perhaps I might add an affirmation in the future. I’m still learning about designing websites

      Good morning Anne,
      Thank you so much for your positive response to my work. Are you talking about using ‘hummingbird images’? – which I could see would work well with affirmations with regards to family and children. I would be very happy to work with you on this….as you say as long as you make clear that it’s my artwork. Here is my e mail address – jcrhumming@hotmail.com Good luck with Hugs2Go.com – I like the look of it. Janet:)

    Hello Janet. You don’t have to do this. I won’t mind at all, but I just nominated you to do the 5 photos 5 stories. There’s no deadline – just to be done over 5 consec days. You put a link to me when you start, and each day nominate someone else and put a link to their blog. I thought of you because I was picturing one of your brilliant ‘phases’ of a picture being created. I thought you could spread it over 5 posts which could be v. interesting. Anyway that was just my idea. Here’s my post with more details about the challenge at the bottom: http://tishfarrell.com/2015/05/20/5-photos-5-stories-hidden-wenlock-3/ Cheers.

      Hi Skye – thank you so much for contacting me. I think you might be doing the advanced with David Cunningham, which is a huge treat. He was the leader for my advanced course and I loved him. My blog address is http://www.jcrhumming.wordpress.com – I think there should be a ‘follow’ button at the bottom right hand corner of home page…in which case, click on that and follow instructions. If you have problems, let me know.

      Best wishes to you and look forward to more contact. Janet.

    I discovered you & your work while Googling daVinci’s “The smallest feline is masterpiece” on my new T-shirt. I had a wonderful calico cat who also used to be feral (free roaming). The colors & designs of your cats are marvelous & cheer me up to look at them. We also have hummingbirds here in Northern Virginia USA in warmer weather. Next I will Google your books & cat designs on eBay . Happy Christmas.

I am familiar with your part of the States….I lived and worked in the States from 1966 tis 1993, when I returned to Europe. I still visit, and love to watch the hummingbirds when I do. Have a very Merry Christmas and wonderful new year. janet:)
