Bravo and thank you, Ann! How wonderful to read such an inspiring story about Valeri, who has obviously worked very hard and is finally getting her due.
There is a rich tradition of realist painters. It was going on even during the heyday of abstract art. This work looks young. Everyone has a story, a subject. What do you do with it to make it
truly beautiful or poetic? Or original? I can think of many standout, under recognized painters in this genre who fit this bill with far more rigor. That said, keep working Valerie!
This is a fab essay on the importance and “beauty” of Valerie’s work. Thank you much for presenting her here.
Her sense of form and composition are exquisite combined with her excellent drawing and painting abilities.
Thank you for introducing me to Valerie's art. Amazing subjects.
And, Ann, belated Happy Birthday!🌸🦋💚
How did you know it was my birthday? I try to keep that top secret....
love the work and the Rust!!!
The subjects and composition have a lot of variety. They are beautiful and very dramatic portrayal of overlooked structures.

Valerie's paintings gave me a very informative feel of her place and landscape with a sense of poetic expression. She is a very accomplished painter.
A Belated Happy Birthday 🎈🎂🍾
