Thank you for dropping by and leaving encouraging comments!<br /><br />Penny is indeed a very talented and dedicated artist... who constantly strives to put a new spin on an old idea! She certainly succeeds in doing that!<br /><br />Thank you for your gracious comments about the water effects and blues! We hoped that this change would enliven our own Hillsdale look which needed dialed up a notch too. I agree... the water certainly adds a lively and fresh appearance to both sites... while at the same time adding unity of the two.<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-43489563323937732262012-12-03T19:36:12.182-05:002012-12-03T19:36:12.182-05:00Very talented young lady.

Thank you for dropping by and for making your very astute observations about Penny's work... and for recognizing my bringing my blog's appearance into line with our new home here on the water's edge in the Thousand Islands. It also as melds well with the intended change in look for our web site! We think that the new look befits the need for change!<br /><br />Penny is a humble soul as well. She works combining her young family's needs with her very intense need to create. It is a pleasure to feature her work on my site! I believe that she is the way of the future for artists... and ahead of her time really. <br /><br />We could all take a page from her book regarding recycling not only materials... but ideas as well. Many people dwell upon the past to their detriment. Penny reshapes the past into new and exciting art forms... with new functions!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />Bruce Bruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-57154150471634038842012-12-02T18:24:47.480-05:002012-12-02T18:24:47.480-05:00Good evening Bruce.

Her work is very original and seems to be in tune with the times, when we are all looking for ways to reduce waste and recycle as much as possible.<br /><br />I like the new design of the blog with its watery theme.<br /><br />All the best,<br />KeithKeith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-68277224927797690632012-12-02T09:25:08.654-05:002012-12-02T09:25:08.654-05:00Good Morning Dean!...

Thanks for sharing your impressions!<br /><br />She is indeed talented... beyond the ordinary... and humble, yet confident about her Self as an artist. "She" exemplifies what I most admire in artists: an unbridled passion for what she believes in... and yet a willingness to share her ideas with others!<br /><br />"Oh... that there were more Pennys... or is should that be Pennies in the art world! Whatever makes sense... or is that cents???
