Comments on: Bernadette deCesare: Eyes of Realism, Heart of Abstraction https://www.howtopastel.com/2017/03/bernadette-decesare-abstraction/ Info, opinion, and training on how to pastel with artist Gail Sibley BFA, MA Thu, 11 May 2017 00:32:59 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 By: Bernadette deCesare https://www.howtopastel.com/2017/03/bernadette-decesare-abstraction/#comment-2603 Thu, 11 May 2017 00:32:59 +0000 http://www.howtopastel.com/?p=6613#comment-2603 “Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU ” feels so common, but it is the truest comment I can say to everyone. who took the time to respond to my work. The art work can be intense and playful. I never know if it is worth keeping, until my hand stops in frustration and boredom, like tonight. So never ever give up. Tomorrow is another day and a new palette.

Thanks Laurie for your oh-so-enthusiastic response to Bernadette’s work!!! And thanks for the reminder that seeing work in person is always the best way to feel the impact of artwork. One of these days I hope to see Bernadette’s in the ‘real’!

It is so unique & elicits such a strong emotional response. The Colors knock me out- and the creativity is beyond belief. I wish I could channel my feelings & thoughts half so well. Each new piece is a step deeper into Bernadette’s psyche. In person, her work has even more impact (if possible). She truly inspires me! Keep up the GREAT work.

You already know how I feel about your work. When I joined FB about a year ago, your work stopped me and I felt an immediate pull, a kindred spirit speaking just to me. Your paintings are you, your past, present, future and dreams and the uniqueness of each is an inspiration to me. Thank you.
