• We just got the painting this afternoon and are very happy with your work! Its beautiful, we have hung it already and cant wait for the next one! — C.P.

• 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.

• Wonderful, juicy mouthwatering colors. Congratulations! — J.B.

• Your work seems very colorful and uplifting. — D.J.

• 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.
