Mary Webster            MARY_WEBSTER.jpg

  "Dovim with Elephants, one of RicharCARD_1.jpgd Avedon's most famous photographs, is a study in contrasts: rough vs. smooth, dirty vs. clean, massive vs. small. It has balance, proportion, scale, rhythm, power and a wide range of textures and tones, all of which are key principles of any good design be it a painting, photograph, or a flower arrangement. In my interpretation, I have used many of the same principles to convey the 'beauty and the beast' feel of the photograph."
- Mary Webster

"She had the audience completely in her NANCY_MURRAY_CARD.jpg   hands.You can feel her magic talent electrifying the air. In later years as she reminesced, the  scene would become less vibrant and a bit more subdued but it would always remain her night."
- Nancy Murray

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leta Austin FosterLETA_AUSTIN_FOSTER.jpg

"I have chosen the painting 'Taormina' by LETA_AUSTIN_FOSTER_CARD.jpg Raoul Dufy, for its depiction, I am using a simple tall terra cotta urn filled with sunflowers, yellow mimosa and broom."
- Leta Austin Foster

"Long lives the power of concentration,                               MARY_PRESSLY-CARD.jpg                                                basic simplicity that is black and white."

Patricia CookPAT_COOK_2.jpg

 "When I saw this lovely painting, I immediately           PAT_COOK_CARD.jpg                                                     felt that I had stepped into a somewhat neglected part of a large cutting garden.The weather-worn tray with the 'pink flowers' is the promise - with its gift of beauty in spite of the untended area to the left. This 'garden lady' needs to put on her gloves, find her trowel and secateurs, plant new seeds and tend this special place."                                 - Patricia Cook
