"impressive work"

"Remarkable imagery, sprung from what must be a whirl of historical and classic influences, and executed with imagination and precision. These must be quite breathtaking in person!"

"Brilliant!"

"What a terrific body of work! I'm proud to own one of your pieces."

"In 'Poetics', Aristotle said, "...a random distribution of the most attractive colors would never yield as much pleasure as a definite image without color." I've always taken exception to that statement, but your work is certainly a mark in his favor."
