The portraits all share a quality that makes me think of 'visual memories' and yet they are right there, in front of me! I love this quality.<br />I was also struck by a similar quality in your other folders - particularly folder six. <br /><br />Marly and Philippa too, thank you for this wonderful blog posting!Paul Digbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872829068371700917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656685278477681365.post-38352368195548742132011-11-29T14:59:02.042-05:002011-11-29T14:59:02.042-05:00The Ruary O'Siochain poem is lyrical and love...The Ruary O'Siochain poem is lyrical and lovely in its visual richness. Leave it to a sensitive painter of figures and portraits to be moved by this.<br /><br />I was very moved by your portraits, myself. Your deft hand with color, form and edges is obvious. What is not so obvious is your delicate and seeing approach to painting who the people are. You communicate them as well as yourself in them.Lynn Digbyhttp://www.lynndigby.artspan.com/noreply@blogger.com
