    MARALYN—- I LOVE YOUR WORK! IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOUR NEW WORK!!!!! I COULD IMAGINE MYSELF SITTING ON THAT DECK ON A SUMMER DAY, DRINKING A COLD LEMONADE, READING A GOOD BOOK WRITTEN BY A FELLOW PEN LADY AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE LOOKING UP AT THE YELLOW LEAVES. SO COOL! JUDY

    I am such a fan of your work. It captures moments that make or made me happy. This one I could just walk into the painting and take a seat.

    Maralyn,

    Your painting is beautiful; it looks like a photograph that was enhanced with post-production software. At first glance I thought it was a photograph.

    Beautiful work. I would love to see more.

    I truly appreciate realistic painting and love the essence of what you’ve captured in this painting. I could feel the autumn breeze and the varied colored leaves driving around me as I imagined sitting on that bench. The textures made the painting come alive. Thanks for sharing
