I am always humbled by your attention to detail and conistency in your work. I am sure this was a rightfully labored painting, especially with water color.

Absolutly amazing Ali. No one can really imagine just how incredible it is unless you see the original. The depth is unbelievable. They could just walk out of the painting. Labor intensive is putting it mildly. I am beyond appreciative for your desire to even take on this project. I can’t wait to hang it.

Just saw you in Artist Magazine and have been exploring your website.
You are amazing and an inspiration. I used to paint in oils and John Singer Sargeant was my hero.
You have captured his detail and intensity in watercolor, something I was not sure was feasible.
You have and will leave your mark in this world.

Everytime I walk into the room or walk past the painting I have to stop and stare and can’t believe how incredible it is. The depth is so much more than what the photograph shows. Not only is the painting one I will always cherish, it is also a reminder of the girl I had as an art student and is now my friend and fellow artist. Thank you Ali again for taking on this project and for creating a painting that is beyond belief. I wish all of you could see the orignal. It’s fantastic!!
