Dear James
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you for your outstanding book 'Color and Light' I have just finished reading it and I am sure I will be referring to it continuously. It is an incredibly easy read and packed with so much useful information, I have learned a huge amount from it and have been greatly inspired by your marvelous work.
I am not sure if you have a testimonial page here on your blog so I thought I would just mention this here.
Many thanks

I'll definitely submit a piece. Thanks, James.
ReplyDeleteThank you, James. I'm very grateful for your kind words. Jeanette deserves a lot of credit for any clarity in the writing. She went over the drafts tirelessly helping me weed out confusing stuff.
ReplyDeleteP.T: I will, too. This exhibit is a labor of love for all the people who put it on, and the exhibiting artists are amazing.
