Ms. Benton,
She loved it! It is amazing how powerful a painting can be. You helped me express my feeling for her. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a painting is worth much more in emotions.
Thank you for your excellent work,
A.L.

Kathleen,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! For the painting! Banu and I loved it so much! Everyone who we showed the painting to today was amazed!
I started the day by creating our on little Amazing Race so we had 4 activities that Banu had to guess the activity and location. This lead us to Milson’s Point where my sister’s friend delivered the beautiful painting to Banu who then proceed to open it as Banu was opening the painting and looking at it I bent down on one knee and proposed she started to cry and said yes.
I was such an amazing day and I feel very happy that Banu enjoyed it soo much!!!
I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart that your painting played a massive part in my proposal and will be a permanent reminder of our special day as it gets framed and displayed in our house once we get married!
Thanks
Kumaran & Banu

Hiya Kathleen,Just to let you know the good news, I have recieved the drawing today! What a fantastic job you have done of protecting it and sealing it so it didn’t incur any damage during transit, it arrived perfectly. When I saw it first time in my hands, my jaw dropped. You have fantastically brought this image in my head to life and given it so much detail and more. You are truly talented and gifted and I can see how you can bring joy to others through your work.
I would like to say thank you so much for this, it means alot to me. I have spoken to many of my friends about you and have recommended you to all of them. I have no doubt in the near future I will be in contact again to start another project. I hope all is well with you and once again, thank you for this magical moment.
I look forward to working with you in a similar manner in the future Take care!!
Many Regards,
Deepak

Hi Kathleen,
I just picked up the painting and all I can say is WOW!!! The painting is amazing! The pictures you sent were incredible, but they did not do the painting justice! I think I may be back in touch once I get settled in LA.
Thank you very much!

You Can Hire An Artist
I have worked with a lot of talented artists over the years…one of the most talented is Kathy Benton. She’s worked with me for so many years now that i’ve lost count. She’s come up with a really unique way to market her own work by launching a new website, http://www.youcanhireanartist.com/. While the focus is on her incredible talent as a designer and painter, the site also promotes her special ability to convey so many different types of ideas for her clients through her artwork. She’s very adaptive and very creative and has a special knack for listening to her clients and interpreting what they have to say through her artwork. She can work in almost any medium you can think of and creates custom-made signs, cards, paintings, and more. If you need something custom-made, give Kathy a call. You’ll be happy you did. She’s fantastic! Read more about her on prlog.com.
