"Dovim with Elephants, one of Richar
d 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."

expectation, calm and serenity."

Nancy Murray
"She had the audience completely in her
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 Foster
"I have chosen the painting 'Taormina' by
Raoul Dufy, for its depiction, I am using a simple tall terra cotta urn filled with sunflowers, yellow mimosa and broom."

"Long lives the power of concentration,
basic simplicity that is black and white."
- Mary Pressly
Patricia Cook
"When I saw this lovely painting, I immediately
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
