I can pay this no higher compliment than saying this is a painter's painter at work. Courageous stuff - ignoring the picturesque and going for the whole. Well done.

Whenever I see your paintings, I experience unbridled joy. Like, there's still hope for people like me to just express whatever comes up and out of me. Thank you for sharing this bit of yourself, and of course, the great big parts of yourself through your art. I feel enriched.

I relate to this completely, and this is the first time I've heard another artist say it. Except for "it's never finished, never perfect." I feel it when it's finished, and "perfection" just comes from the painting giving me joy.

gorgeous art - so very uplifting - and your description of your process is eloquent and genuine - thank you, Krista!

Never before have I heard someone describe the process of an artist to painting abstracts so well. Thank you I enjoyed it very much!

You are a very talented artist! Thank you so much for sharing your work and showing us your studio! :)

Thanks for such an interesting peek into not just your studio, but into your painting process. You are the 4th artist that I have actually seen paint (grateful for KZfaq!) I, too, feel inspired by the abstract forms in nature - wonderful to hear another person talk with such passion. Also, thanks for the warning about those "highs" and lows that are part of the journey.

FANTASTIC and inspiring works, studio and story. Could you please do a time lapse of one full painting. Thanks for posting these wonderful videos. I could watch you paint all day! :) Katooshie in Canada

Just looked at this video along with another of yours and feel a great empathy with your ideals of representing the natural world in paint. The world around us presents so much scope for interpretation I often wonder why anyone wants to paint anything else!

You sum up exactly my approach to landscape painting - they are beautiful paintings full of interest,texture and special composition. I have never encountered your work before but will now follow it with interest.

Beautiful work . I love the sensitivity that we find in your work . Thanks for sharing .

very nice video... I loved seeing how you use natural landscapes, etc!

This was fun to watch I love your work and hope to see more

I enjoyed looking at your work in progress, It made me feel cheerful and good about my own work. I live and work in Cornwall in England and I go to my studio every day. My work is very different from the paintings I did in London. I am reacting to my new surroundings which at times are overwhelming , and I am finding the language I need to use.

I love your work Krista thank you for sharing with us. :)

Hi Krista Love your beautiful studio -and it was interesting to see how you work-like your paintings a lot!

Great work Krista! I found it very interesting (I paint too).

Thanks for sharing your work with us. I really like your paintings and your process.

Thank you for making my time watching your video , so pleasurable! Beautiful!
