You might remember this painting from my previous post.  I was glad that this piece was also reviewed by John A. Parks in the summer issue (2009) of American Artist/Watercolor Magazine (you can read an online version of the article here).

John, an established artist himself (see his website), often writes for American Artist and its sister publications.  His writings are commended highly and I always enjoy his articles which are insightful, accurate and thought-provoking.  So you can imagine how truly honored I was that he would do an article about my work.

He wrote, "Her travels have (also) allowed her to make paintings that show great warmth and interest for other cultures.  In Marisqueira, Portugal, for instance, she presents an intimate glimpse of two ordinary women talking casually on the sidewalk in the early morning.  And in Market Day, Venice, Italy II, a man pushing a cart and various passersby are integrated seamlessly into the light and air of the scene, giving the viewer the sense that he or she is participating in the life and work of the place."
