Dear Lorraine-

Congratulations on your exhibition!  I was pleased to get an advance look at
images of some of the works to be included.  They show your consistent
technical expertise and adroit use of the medium of watercolor on paper.
Your works always demonstrate the very highest professional and artistic
standards.
What is very special, however, is the lyrical quality of your use of color
and of shapes.  While your paintings are unfailing botanically accurate - so
much so that they could serve almost as a textbook on flowers - you add an
extra quality of brightness, clarity, and interesting harmony in your choice
of colors.
I know that you like to listen to fine music as you paint, and there is a
subtle musical quality which shows through.

Your sense of composition is very sound, so that the total construction of
the paintings supports the mood you intend.  I myself am a more impatient
painter, who strikes at the patterns of light and dark which surge over
actual objects, so I appreciate very much the contrast in your more
classical and meticulous paintings.  Maybe I am a Shostakovich or Prokofiev
and you a Telemann or Mozart.  At any rate I very much enjoy the way you
make your paintings.

I also want to mention on this occasion my great admiration for your service
to the community of artists and for the energy and enthusiasm you bring to
friendships and to advancing the standards and appreciation of
representational art.

With fondness and best regards,

Barry

Would you like to be part of my album in my next solo exhibition ??

On a table, I will add a special album with souvenirs,
photos, color samples etc....

Send me a text about my works. I need love letters !!!

You know about painting so it will be nice having comments
from people with fine art background....

Ideas :
What do you think about them, what are your feelings when you look at them.
What are your comments about the composition, style, design, drawing, color
scheme, subjects, what is your favourite painting ?? and what about the 
artist, etc.

Add your name and your city, country (add your photo if you wish)

Some will be translated in French but I will add the english version.
