• Lena, got the paintings yesterday, FABULOUS! They are WONDERFUL ... Thanks for signing them ... they are worthy of remembering where and whence they have come, Toronto ... Thank you ever so — T.O.

• I've been on your site for a couple of hours!! I can't believe how long it's been. I just wanted to tell you that I think your work is beautiful and really talks to the soul. You have a true gift! Thank you for the wonderful experience of viewing your art work. — C.S.

• I recently have fallen in love with abstract - especially nonobjective. I found your work while doing some research, and I wanted to tell you that you are one of the most talented artists I frankly have ever seen. I am happy to see you are selling well, and your site is absolutely fantastic, but you are of such a high caliber, that galleries would fight over you. You could command high prices. I hope you will consider approaching some really excellent galleries (particularly with your abstracts, surrealism, and cubist paintings). You are exceptional and I would like to see you make a fortune! Good luck, Lena. And thank you for sharing your art with the world. I feel enriched and inspired....and envious (!) after viewing your work. — V.M.

• Hello, Lena. I'm one of your biggest admirers. As if you haven't been told enough YOUR WORK IS AWESOME. I hear it all the time my self when I'm selling my own work here in New Orleans. I've been reading your blog and I find it very helpful and informative and I want to thank you for being this approachable. Keep up the good work. — R.R.

• Just wanted to congratulate you on an awesome collection of work. I have never seen such a bulk of work all having the "WOW" factor. You are an inspiration to all us 'wanna be' artists. Keep up the incredible work. — D.
