  • Viswa V:  Wow.. amazing
  • Sarah C:  Wendy, the Van Gogh painting is amazing! Without reading the title, I knew who it was. The colors and shading are so complex, it is really great. Your abstract is interesting to sit and look at. That block of red pops right off the canvass, but does not distract from the movement. It's really cool.
