Bill, I was looking at the Webs4Friends web site and ending up looking at several they had created. Yours was on there so I stopped by for a few minutes, in the middle of a busy day, to look around. Good web site! - Although I wish some of the pictures were taken in a brighter light as they were difficult to see properly. As you know I love the pear series! Especially the one that had the sticker from a real pear on it. But my favorite one is the Birch Pear. I don't think I ever properly thanked you for showing the boys and I around the Ralph center when we came by to look at your exhibit. I may have been more impressed than they were as I know you were shutting down for the night - and I for one am always ready to go when its time to go. So once again thanks for giving us an after hours tour.

The large piece on your home page got my attention. I am an oil painter and will also be exhibiting at the Florence Biennale next year. It will be nice to view your work in person and to get to meet you there (I hope). If you have been before and care to share any suggestions with me I would be forever grateful. Very nice site.

I think your smaller crafts oriented work is far superior and personal and perhaps you should continue within that area. Your stone sculpture pieces are much less successful and look too derivative (think Arp).If you have a degree I would guess it's in Ceramics or crafts.

I like what you did with the pear series. The idea was very creative and unique. My favorite piece is the pear cart. I think it's neat how you took two pieces of fruit and made them resemble human figures on a bench. I also like the library pears even though I really didn't understand it. For the next couple of days, I will be thinking of fruit in a whole new light. I really enjoyed your website. Christie Martin

I really liked the pear series, very unique. I have never seen anything like it. I have always enjoyed art, where the main subject was fruit. Using pears was a cute idea. My favorite piece would have to be the "pear cart". The pears look so happy together!! Very creative! I was not sure about the "pearapet" piece, I dont understand what it is. The whole pear series is really great, I think I may look at pears differnetly from now on! And if I had some money I would buy a piece of the series!!

FROM THE ARTIST....  Hello Colleen, The way commissions work for me.... I am contacted by the buyer, we talk over the space, price, size and material.... I then design 3 or 4 models..... we talk again and decide on which one, if any, the buyer likes. I make a final model, if we both think the piece will work I get 1/3 of the total cost and then I make the piece. When nearly complete the buyer comes in and we look at the piece and agree it is on track [or make adjustments]... I get 1/3 of the cost then I complete and install the piece, collect the final 1/3 and the piece is finished

As far as tools for limestone, I use a pitching tool and 5lb hammer first, then a diamond cutting blade 9",6" and 4 1/2 " and then carve with an air tool until finished.... I usually end with a texturing tool or power sander [air] and finish the piece. Enjoyed talking with you and hope you enjoyed my work. Kolok

Being the owner of your world famous " COAL MINERS REGION " I have the following to suggest to other potential buyers of your wonderful art sculptures. Make sure that if you purchase one of these fine works of art that you get all the pieces. The excellent work that I have is a wooden piece that arches ( Church archs ) over two pieces of coal. Having purchased this fine piece or should I say traded it for a case of beer 30 years ago, I am still waiting for the two pieces of coal and for you to personally install them. When you go to my web site you will notice that Nancy and are in southern California. Also remember that 30 years ago around Thanksgiving time you were in our wedding. Bill, we are excited that your work has gained so much popularity, so please come and complete the work you started over 30 years ago.

Love, Dudley & Nancy

Joan and I and Paige certainly enjoyed meeting you and Steve and hope to see you next year..... Tell Steve he needs to get a web site.. soon.. My good friends at Webs4Friends.com would be happy to help him get started. They are good people and know how to talk to artists about tech stuff..

When i was young i used to go over to visit his daughters but easily was far more interested in Jasons chisels and stone. i have a small collection of my own but just cant fit the time in to be out in the shed all the time, but i think it is the greatest buzz to finish a piece and then stand back and look at it and say "HOW THE F**K DID I DO THAT !" any way i think your work is great and is great to see other artists over the world posting it on the net. keep up the good work *** THE STRUGGLING ARTIST - ben

FROM THE ARTIST To all the people who saw the Berry article.... It has been wonderful hearing from all of you and thanks for taking the time to write. One part of every piece an artist does is from his or her history and each of you helped blend the work I am doing now . I hope anyone who views my site and has a connection to me will pass it along and take some credit for its development. My art is part of my collective past. Kolok it is a pleasure to hear from each of you thanks so much......Kolok

FROM THE ARTIST Thanks John for the note I agree that it looks different at night .. The texture really is excited by the dark and light of the shadows and it makes a more complex piece. I hope to have another piece up in the same park soon.. Thanks again Kolok

Bill, Your sculpture looks different every time I see it. The sunlight or cloudiness makes it take on different personalities. Thanks again for letting me "carve" on it--that was fun! Owensboro is fortunate to have such an accomplished artist living and working here. My very best to you and your family always, Margaret

Bill: I stopped today and admired the piece at lunchtime. As usual -- I am drawn to touch it, and I enjoyed the surface and the dimensions. I appreciate the fact that, like an Henri Moore piece, it always makes me want to look again from yet another perspective. It's a startlingly apparent addition to the cultural scene, and provides a welcome balance to the OMFA corner. Congratulations on a job well done.

Jim

FROM THE ARTIST I finished the piece, which is called 'CORNER OF TIME", yesterday and had planned to do a final photo shot late yesterday afternoon but cloudy weather and than rain washed out that idea. I will try again for at least one more series of photos of the finished piece. Let me also say Thank you to all the people who came to my web site and looked at this piece. Thanks also to all the people who wrote in this comment page , it was interesting to hear from you and read your reactions to the work in progress. I will keep this section of my site up and will continue to watch for comments and certainly would love to hear from all of you. If you know of anyone who might be interested in my site pass the site along. I have enjoyed my sabbatical very much and plan to continue to make art for this sculpture park and hopefully will get the opportunity to do large works for other cities . Thanks again for all the encouragement ..... Kolok

I wish you will in your life and continued sucess in the persuit of your dreams, I do not have to wish you good friends because you alresdy have the best friend available in that area, Jin Naas. I don't know you that well and have only met you once but if Jim speaks well of you I know I can come to call you friend. I may be interested in your crosses of wood designs that you create. May love of the wood and may love for the Lord are well reprsented in the works I have seen. Respectfully your, Jeffrey P. Couper

Dear Bill,

I am a speech-language pathology friend of Jim Naas from California (Bay Area). I very much enjoy sculpture, so he suggested that I visit your website. What an interesting pursuit, this sculpture park of yours! I imagine it will be most fulfilling to see the sculpture completed and appreciated by the folks of Owensboro for years to come.

I don't know if you have ever visited Northern California, but your sculptures would be very well-received in Big Sur and Carmel.These small communities, both nearby each other, are artist's havens. You should plan a trip to visit the area someday and chat with the artistic community. (Both areas, especially Big Sur on the Pacific Ocean, are also very scenic.)

I'll look forward to returning to the website in a month or so to see how your sculpture is progressing.

Bill - I am interested in your work. There is an garden art gallery opening in an 8-acre landscaped nursey in May in Utica, Indiana, across the river from Louisville. Send me an e-mail if you are going to be in the area and I will get you directions.

FROM THE ARTIST, HI SON, the surface will be rough. If you look at the latest picture [March 8} you can see the top of the piece has the finished surface on it already. I am pretty happy with that surface and when the sun hits it the face planes become charged with light and shadow, real coool. See you soon love DAD

Bummer about the guest book. The piece looks good. What sort of surface are you planning of putting on the stone Is it all going to be rough, smooth, somewhere in-between ? Can't wait to get home and see it. Love D

From the ARTIST Due to problems we lost many of the guest book comments for that we are sorry but once again it proves that "when words fail sculpture still stands" It has gotten cold again and I am working on redefining the pionts ,surfaces and planes, all the big work is done but the pulling together of all the pieces is now here. It is time consuming and boring but necessary. k
