    Johanna I adore the colours in your work and the way subjects blend into the background and vice versa. Lovely and emotive work.

    My daughter just said, “Whoa!” and I have to second that emotion. This is really, really beautiful and sad. I hope he comes home soon.

    Poignant & masterfully painted. The light/dark division perfectly captures her struggle between hope & despair.

    This is a beautiful piece. The atmosphere also feels like the week’s topic “memories.” The the flow and texture on this piece too.
