Barn on the Pocomoke
Comment from Ms. Eplstein: This work caught my eye almost immediately for the simple shapes and the light. Having been in a lot of barns, this piece reminds me of a warm summer day, with the smell of animals and Paul McCarthy and Wings on the radio.

Breath of Monhegan
Comment from Ms. Eplstein: This has an immediacy like you’re driving down a road in Maine and you want to stop a while. I like the shingled house in the bright light. The colors of the flowers and house peeking out look like a place you could sit on a hill and watch the day go by. This artist has created a strong sense of space.

Watching My Wake
Comment from Ms. Eplstein: What hits me is the brush work, the energy and color. It is not always easy to catch the color and shape of the waves. In this one you can feel the movement of the wave coming up and curling.

The Sun Drops
Comment from Ms. Eplstein: It is an intimate piece. I like small pieces that you can put in unexpected spaces, and when you look at them you get a sweet surprise. There is a looseness of brushwork, it all reminds me of the Surrealists. That things are as they should be but not in the order you expect.

Schooner Bay Woods
Comment from Ms. Eplstein: Reminds me of Welliver, I never really liked him but when you get up close to this piece, like him, she has made sense of the complicated masses, and the color notes are fun. I like the way it all works together and feels like you are in the woods in the middle of the day with a strong sun on you.
