Dear Ms. Texier:
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed viewing your work firstly in International Artists' Magazine and then in a subsequent visit to your site.
Really lovely poetic work. I am a fan of soft hazy edges and dazzling light and try to find it in my own oil portrait work. So when I recognize it so well done in the work of another artist, it makes my heart sing. Congratulations on such wonderful work.

Best wishes,

Dear Texier,
Your art works are fabulous and magnificent! That’s the ART that I like to see and feel.
I have found your website by coincidence, through ‘auxartistespeintres.free.fr’.
Going through your art works is like a trip: rich, expressive beautiful and enjoyable.
Drawing and painting is one of my hobbies since my childhood and recently, I have made the first step to learn this art officially through an international correspondence school. I hope one day to become a good artist as you are!
I am a Moroccan (of berber origins and exactly the North of Morocco) and I have appreciated some parts of my culture in some of your art works.

Wish you more success.

Je viens de voir un article sur vos pastels dans International Artiste. Moi, aussi Je suis pastelliste. J'aime beaucoup le portrait et le paysage mais je travaille dans un sens plutot classique. Vous m'inspirer a essayer des combinaisons differente. Je trouvais vos pastels formidable et J'aime beaucoup votre sens du Maroc!

Is it possible to buy the St. Petersburg dreamscape? If so, can I afford it? It's a stunning painting, as is all your work.

I would like to know if you teach students of pastel. I work in pastel, charcoal and oils and would love to attend a workshop to learn some of your techniques. Portraits are my favorite but I also do landscapes and still life. If you do not teach any workshops I would be interested in attending any exhibitions you may have scheduled - I noticed that you do not have anything listed for 2006 on your website. Are you planning to be in the States this year? We usually travel to Europe each year in the Spring. Do you have anything scheduled in France for the Spring? Also, if you do not teach workshops - would you consider doing it if enough people were interested? I look forward to hearing from you! Your work and your style are truly inspirational.

About workshops :
Yes, Claude teach some workshops, but in France only... (up to now). You can read the list of workshops in the french part of this Website at the Stages page.

Dear C. Texier,
I wrote to you before and received a reply from you, I'd like to thank you very much for your advice. I have now returned to painting and photography as I used to.
I was born in Morocco but now I reside in the UK (London) and my favourite subjects are Moroccan themes. Have a look at my site, you might like some of my work.
Kind regards,

Dear Claude;
As being a pastel lover artist, I should confess that you are a great master of the technique. Many congratulations for that. However I have a small critic especially with your charming portraits. ( Actually I love them deeply and jealus about). They seem to me that they are a little in the taste of photography. I am sure with your great talent you can do a little better in that sense.
I am for the first time in my life write a small critics about another artist, I did it because I really love your technique and the mood you convey. This is a big achivement that is not possible for many artists.
Many congratulations once again.
With my best regards.

Dear Claude,
I have studied art, painting and obtained a dipoma in 1987, I have always loved pastels and did many portraits. But, unfortunately due to some personal circumstances I gave up painting since 1994. Now I would like to go back to my art but feel scared.Any advice please?
Regarding your paintings, they touched me deeply and could not cease looking at them, they encouraged me very much and I hope I can resume painting as I was before.
Thank you endlessly for creating and sharing your website with us, I admire your work, truly.
