<\/a>\u00a0New Commission ( cropped)<\/span><\/p>\nIn admiration of your colourful feedback, I am leaving the narrative to you this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve read this a few times now and I start off the same, a fairly good reading pace, then with each section I start going faster and faster until I’m practically going berserk by the time I finish. \u00a0I’m almost out of breath.\u00a0 If this is how you paint you are a mad woman. :0)\u00a0\u201c ( The Runner ) S.T<\/p>\n
\u201cAlways love your posts, Dawn. Yours always captivate me. I particularly like this statement\u00a0~\u00a0Some ask why I don\u2019t put people in my paintings.\u00a0Actually, I do.<\/span><\/p>\n I put you there.<\/span><\/p>\n Because it is such a common refrain with the Group of Seven—-You are similarly questioned and your answer is brilliant.\u201d\u00a0J.M<\/p>\n “Your art is beautiful in your paintings and poetic words.” \u00a0W.K<\/p>\n \u201cEven your name suits the fresh air of your paintings.\u00a0Just want you to know your charming jewel is now framed and hanging on a narrow wall in our kitchen home office that has been waiting for just this grace.\u00a0Thank you for this pleasure.\u201d A.K<\/p>\n \u201cYour visuals are so very inspiring! You have the ability to tame the landscape and reduce the complexity and noise into intelligently and beautifully crafted dimensions. I don’t mean to go on and on or to be too verbose, but your art does speak with such clarity and vision! \u201c\u00a0C.B<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cYour work in our home enriches our lives. Thank you for this.\u201d L.B<\/p>\n \u201cYou are blessed with a creative language and may you continue to\u00a0inspire!\u201d<\/p>\n “It was lovely to work with you yesterday. You have great energy and a powerful commitment to your art!\u00a0I\u2019m confident here will be no stopping you. \ud83d\ude42 ” L.W<\/p>\n \u201cYour work has an almost tangible inner-energy, and a very distinctive sense of mood and atmosphere: in a word, fantastic.\u00a0I also enjoyed reading your blog. When done well – like yours – it creates an interesting window into what an artist is all about. R.B<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Dawn if this art thing doesn’t work out for you, you can\u00a0always start writing\u2026.meaning your very talented with words.” \u00a0J.<\/p>\n “Autumn Stream<\/em> is so loose, and yet defiant. \u00a0The colours and strokes hammer away and I’m so delighted with this evolvement of your style. \u00a0The true beating heart of Dawn is pounding in this one. \u00a0Celebrating that passionate rhythm. ” \u00a0R.C<\/p>\n “You’ve captured the essence of those skies I’ve seen on so many canoe trips. \u00a0There’s an emotional quality for me because often those skies are a storm clearing at sunset. Although we may have been paddling, portaging and setting up camp in the rain, the forest is quickly drying and we now look forward to sleeping out that night, embracing good weather the following day. \u00a0As dramatic as the sky is, for me it also offers hope. \u00a0Such a great feeling. “R.C<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I received your email I had to share it with my staff, I hope you don\u2019t mind.\u00a0 Would you be OK with me sending the letter to our Police newspaper \u201cthe Beat\u201d?\u00a0 As you will read in my note to my staff you and Glen are inspirational and your stories should be shared. “~Dawn is the artist who painted the picture she donated to the Grand River Cancer Center.\u00a0Glen and Dawn are inspirations to me and the story rightly states \u201cthe key to resilience is attitude\u201d. “T.M<\/p>\n \u201cYou’ve become a mentor for others in both your art and yourself.\u201d J.P<\/p>\n P.S ~<\/p>\n Thank you for your art patronage, sharing the posts and kind letters. It\u2019s so rewarding to hear how the art enriches your lives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My last post left some of you breathless. \u00a0New Commission ( cropped) In admiration of your colourful feedback, I am leaving the narrative to you this week. \u201cI’ve read this a few times now and I start off the same, … Continue reading ![\"DSC05612\"](\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC05612-300x224.jpg\")
