“The quilt format is highly appropriate for repetition and serialization. Formal issues of balance and color, space and light in landscape are endlessly engaging. I try to use the medium to its maximum, pushing well beyond tradition.” TryingWellsUseLightSpaceIssuesColorBalanceTraditionMediumsLandscapeAppropriatePushingFormalRepetitionEngagingMaximumFormatQuilts Author:Elizabeth Barton
“A landscape painting is essentially emotional in origin. It exists as a record of an effect in nature whose splendour has moved a human heart, and according as it is well or ill done it moves the hearts of others.” HumansWellsHeartDoneMovingEmotionRecordsEffectsEmotionalPaintingMovedIllLandscapeHuman HeartSplendourLandscape Painting Author:Walter J.

“Anne Pitkin's poems have such lyrical sweep, such a sensitive eye for the natural world as it touches the human, that reading Winter Arguments is like seeing a landscape or, better, a richly realized painting of a landscape dotted with figures. But that would leave out their music, which would be a loss. This is a wise and graceful book by a well-traveled woman who knows how to confront deep feeling and frame it to make it all the more intense.” KnowsWorldHumansWellsBookFeelingsWould BeEyeReadingNaturalLossKnow HowWiseSeeingFiguresPaintingArgumentWinterIntenseLandscapeSensitiveTraveledNatural WorldLyricalDeep Feeling Author:Rosellen Brown
