/ July 13, 2014Hi Ruth, I really like your paintings – technically amazing, I love the Renaissance reference, yet also so contemporary, expressing everything through drapery…All the best with the exhibition! (Alas, too far for me to come, as I am in London)

/ July 15, 2014Just saw the preview of the exhibition – they are beautiful. Have you thought of doing one absolutely humongous – say 3-4 metres long, to fill an entire gallery wall? The impact would be amazing….

/ July 15, 2014Thank you Anita. Definitely, at that scale they would certainly make their presence felt – I was thinking of going bigger, but you’re right, that big would be amazing – I’ll start planning!
