Thank you John, for your favorable comment. I'm going to miss you, and my other friends, when I leave in 9 days for the Czech Republic. I will be gone for 3 weeks. I shall return to this site, when I get home.

Bon Voyage! er... Šťastnou cestu! !

Thanks, Steve.

Excellent artwork!! very glamorous!! congrats Joyce!!

Thank you, Nihale.

You're welcome, Joyce

GREAT! The great crooner of all time. I have many of their albums. Thank you very much my dear Joyce. It's a real surprise.

You are very welcome, dear Marino. Have you seen many of the Bing's movies? Besides movies like, GOING MY WAY, THE BELLS OF ST. MARY'S and others, Bing also made quite a few movies with Bob Hope, such as THE ROAD TO BALI, THE ROAD TO SINGAPORE, THE ROAD TO ZANZIBAR and THE ROAD TO MOROCCO. The combination of Crosby and Hope was always entertaining.

Yes my dear! Bing was a complete artist. Ver un film de Crosby es ver un cine de lujo. However, I appreciate it more in his time crooner, with "The Rhythm Boys" with Paul Whiteman, etc.. when was the best voice before Sinatra

I always liked Bing. I never cared much for Frank Sinatra, but he did have a good voice. Just one of those quirks of mine, I guess.

Hey Joyce! I'm so glad to see that you are still here! Wonderful work and nice tribute to Bing Crosby! Bravo!!

Thanks, Jeanette. I won't be here much longer. We leave July 16 and return on Aug. 7.

I will miss you dear Joyce but I hope you have a wonderful trip! Enjoy!

superbe

Many thanks, Steve.

Most excellent my good friend Joyce!!!!!

Thanks Christine, for the many clapping hands, a sure sign of approval! I had to get at least one portrait off, before we go to the Czech Republic. That's only a week and one day from today.

Joyce tell your husband to have a great trip and try to post some pictures. Do you ever go on Facebook?? it is really easy to use and so much fun to post both art work and photos and I love it. I get to talk with my entire family all live so far away but it puts them in almost the same room as we share our photos and experiences together.

Thanks Christine. I'm sure we'll have a great time in the C.R. Yes, I am a member of Facebook. Also, DeviantArt and Il Divo's Official Website. I don't frequent the first two sites often, but I am a regular on Il Divo's ART THREAD, which is a link listed under Entertainment and Creativity.

on Facebook I am Christine Artl Morton ask for a friendship I post a great deal of art there and family pictures etc.

I forgot to tell you that I am "Jojemo" on all three websites. I've sent you an invitation to be friends on FB. I don't have a lot on the site, but will try to do better when I get back from the C.R.

I have just finished an e-mail to you and then I find this... I think it's really great and to think of all the years you didn't do portraits. Though I must admit your other stuff was 1st. class as well!!!! Tell me Joyce, is your list of comments below the portrait all jumbled or are they all clear as day, 'cause they appear jumbled to me!! Tom

Thanks Tom, for the thumbs up on Bing! As for the comments beneath my drawing of him, they are fine at the moment. I have, in the past, seen remarks jumbled up so they couldn't be read. Hope yours clear up soon!

Glad your readable! John was right again..he said it was something that was only in certain areas. But your Bing is still great!! Have a nice time!!

I'm planning to do just that! Thanks again, Tom. I will try to answer your comment on DA, soon.

Many thanks, Henri.

VERY GOOD dear Jojemo

Merci, chère Peggy, pour le compliment. Je pourrais ajouter que vous ne dessine mieux que Gerard Butler. Joyce

thank you very much Joyce

Excellent crooner, excellent portrait!!! bravo Jo!!!

My sincere thanks, jfm.

Je vous remercie encore une fois, Sera. J'ai toujours aimé Bing. Les films qu'il a fait avec Bob Hope ont été..............."

moi je ne le connais pas malheureusement

Peut-être la raison pour laquelle vous ne savez pas à propos Bing Crosby, c'est parce qu'il n'est pas né dans votre époque. Bing est né en 1903. Il mourut en 1977. Je suis sûr que vous êtes trop jeune pour avoir été un fan de la sienne. Mes portraits sont souvent des personnes âgées acteurs et actrices, parce qu'elles étaient celles que je me souviens le plus pendant mon film participant aux journées. Je dessine quelques-unes des étoiles récemment aussi, mais voir plupart d'entre eux à la télévision montre maintenant.

ok

Merci! Je suis heureux que vous aimez mon portrait de Bing Crosby. J'ai été en République tchèque pendant trois semaines. Je n'ai pas pris mon portable. Je n'avais que sur un ordinateur une fois pendant leur séjour. claviers tchèque sont un peu différentes de la mienne à la maison, et je n'ai pas eu le temps de faire tout ce que je voulais faire quand j'étais là-dessus. Je voudrais pouvoir ont mis le temps de Litomysl (CR) à la maison avec moi. J'ai été beaucoup plus fraîches là, que c'est ici à Oklahoma City, OK. Votre ami Okie, (Oklahoma, qui est!) Joyce

Merci, Bea. I am pleased you like it.

very fantastic! your works are great as usual!

Thank you, Master Shahin, for your kind and generous comment. I truly appreciate it. I fear I am currently in a period of "burnout." I have not felt much like drawing since we returned from the Czech Republic. I am glad that you are all right, though. Your work is always outstanding!
