I really like this, it's dynamic and there's a lot to see/imagine. Mind you, I prefer her latest work which is somewhat darker than the 2005 work. Merci Mrs.Authier.

It's remarkable how your style has progressed since 2005. I really like these later works.

My first thought on first look was "stunning!" Passion and powerful are the words that the work speaks to me.

I absolutely love this work! I can't belive this was painted by hand and brush,Awsome work. IMPRESSIVE. This is a joyful painting and the painter has a creative heart.

Amazing juxtaposition of surface interest and illusory depth. You can get into it either way simultaneously. I would love to see what you could do with landscapes that have suffered the ravages of warfare. Love your work.

Love it..... the colours, the use of space, the form, just beautiful!
