Dimitar Krustev

I just found out about Dimitar's death yesterday. We weren't in Ajijic last winter, or I would have known. I took lessons from him for three or four years here in Ajijic and have several of his paintings. He was a great artist. I will miss him.

I am so sorry to here of Dimitar's death. I have a painting of his, gifted to me by my parents, and wanted so much to hear more about it. He was so gifted and showed so much emotion and understanding of his subject matter. I know he was special. I just wish I could have met him.

Helen, I am so sorry to hear of Dimitar's passing. I still speak fondly of him to my family and tell my children about our adventures in the jungle. I treasure my time spent with him and think of him when I paint. God bless.

Helen:
I just learned of Dimitar's death via the Internet. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
With love,

Helen, I just learned of Dimitar's death. I am so sorry. I treasure my time in his classes and my times in your home. Thank you for your kindness.

Dear Helen,
This could be the second attempt to send a message. I think I lost the first one. Jeff and I were so sadden to hear of Dimitar's passing. We would love to hear from you. We both have fond memories of our friendship with the two of you. With love and admiration, Marijo and Jeff Starnes

I am sad to learn of Dimitar's passing...I too took classes in Newton and in Des Moines and even a trip to Ajijic to paint with him. He was a brilliant teacher and a delight to be with and has been greatly missed since permanently moving to Ajijic.

I picked up some watercolors today for the first time in years and it made me wonder about one of my favorite teachers, Dimitar Krustev. He inspired many of us to see things in new ways. It was a pleasure to have him a part of my formative years. Julie Gamack

I am so sorry to hear of Dimitar's passing. I came today to bring him and Helen a loaf of fresh rye bread from the Swedish baker and rang the bell to no answer, then stopped back again after running errands and again no answer. I didn't know that he had passed. I loved taking classes with Dimitar. He was a wonderful teacher and a delightful story teller. I will miss him. Fondly, Allenda
