Beautiful sensitive drawings, Joan. The 2 simple line sketches could keep my attention for hours. Nicely done.

It was a pleasure meeting you as well, Sue. I enjoyed your video interview of Colleen Duffley and Studio b’s Light Impressions iPhonography installation.

Nice work Joan. Brings back memories of when I took life drawing… in the seventies. Nothing quite like having a live model. I really like your simple pen and ink pieces. – Great meeting you in Telluride last week!

Joan, that color drawing came out fabulously! Love it! And you really captured the model, as well.

Joan, as always I so enjoy and appreciate your willingness to share your art journey. The clarity of your thoughts as you work your way through process reveals a deeper level of understanding allowing me to see it through the artist eye and soul. One of your thoughts “developing only the more important area of each pose” resonates personally for me. I struggle with this concept continually, it’s become the main focus of my own mark making, how to leave out everything I consider to be noise, leaving just enough information for a viewer to complete the intention. Keep up your great work and thanks for sharing.

OK, I’ve seen pictures of some of your landscape paintings and they are beautiful. That said, I believe you would be taking a step backward if you did not try to include the human form in some of your new paintings.

You have such a gift for capturing the essence of the person, I think you could easily create art incorporating all that you have learned about drawing people into a new painting style that anyone would love to hang on their walls!
