I HAVE A CAT SO THOSE ARE ESPECIALLY Humorous TO ME. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CONSTANT MOVING SCREEN HAVE THE TITLE OF THE PAINTING ON IT ALSO. I HAVE SEEN HER WHOLE COLLECTION AND I LIKE HER HUMOR IN NAMING EACH PIECE.<br />HOW DO YOU GET A HOLD OF THE WEB DESIGNER ? I LIKE HIS WORK.BUTTERFLY LADY2010-05-03T04:56:53Zhttp://blog.batescreates.com/2009/03/28/honoring-the-art-and-life-of-betty-bates.aspx#comment-3008801I contacted Larry Fong, curator for the Jordan Schnitzer Museum at the U of O campus. He enjoyed the web site and Betty's work, but her work cannot be displayed at that museum. That said, I do believe we can try other museums and see if we can get her work displayed. It's brilliant, funny and interesting. I was also intrigued by her development in technique and medium choice over the years. I'm sure you agree with me on this.Rachel Cunningham2010-04-14T14:51:18Zhttp://blog.batescreates.com/2009/03/28/honoring-the-art-and-life-of-betty-bates.aspx#comment-2985759I miss you Betty.I love you and long to be with you in heaven.You are so very special to me,my love.Thank you my love for allowing me to be with you.Bless you Betty.You will always be in my heart,like I am in yours.Martin2010-04-07T00:22:55Zhttp://blog.batescreates.com/2009/03/28/honoring-the-art-and-life-of-betty-bates.aspx#comment-2186047I was with Betty for the final years of her life.She was a very loving and compassionate lady to both people and animals.Betty showed me unconditional love.Betty is in my heart as well as I am in hers.I am the most blessed and honored man to have been with Betty.Betty is in heaven enjoying her art and living in complete love.Martin Voorhaar2009-06-22T20:49:55Zhttp://blog.batescreates.com/2009/03/28/honoring-the-art-and-life-of-betty-bates.aspx#comment-2145045Dear Betty How I wish I would have known you better and longer Ill miss your wonderful crazy good art...so unlike mine....we seem worlds apart except for our love for contemplation..

We met for lunch and talked about putting together a show of her work at the Alameda Artwork Studios. She was an artist in residence during the year 2002.Deanna Beye2009-04-12T01:15:20Z
