Artist's Comments

Watercolor
13 x 13½"
1988

My daughter looking at an Art book. She's always loved my own paintings more than she found in books on the history of art. And I tell you, she's been my harshest critic, always observing (if my painting wasn't perfect), such mistakes in my painting as "Pop, the eye is not right." Etc. You work on a painting and think it's perfect. Then your daughter points out a mistake. Well, I'd take her advise and go back in to correct it, until she says, "Yes, now it's right." Not always. Often she would say "it's just right."

The lighting in this is great!!- Very complimentary with the subtle blues and warm oranges. Everybody needs a critic like her, that doesn't candy coat their critiques:)-

Yes. A critic who see with her own eyes. Got me through many a not-quite-right painting.

Thank you.

Simply beautiful as usual. You take the hardest things and make them look easy......those blinds would have give me migraines, but in your work they just flow from one degree of intensity to the next without obvious effort.. genius! !Melissa

Simply amazing. Your "Square Virtown". The perspective is splendid enough, but so much more in this piece I love.

Still do. She won't let me get away with any defect in my work.

Thank you.
