• 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.

• Hi Lena, the 9 canvases came today. Love, love, love them! It was what I wanted. I will be watching your other work. Thank you! — D.

• Good evening, Lena, I have never written to an artist before, but when I saw your work online, I just had to contact you. There is a vibrance and yet, a joyful emotion in your work. I suppose it's not really work, but more of an expression of the depth of your emotions. Believe me, it shows! There are very few abstract artists whose pieces have spoken to me, but I do enjoy Dali, Picasso, and Kandinsky. I've never owned even a print of their work, but I feel very compelled to purchase yours. — J.G.

• Lena, was delighted with your painting. Contemporary is, by far, my favorite. Your colors are so intense, yet a very smooth flow overall - with just a hint of realism. It will find an appropriate location in my home. — B.V.

• You've got so many styles and themes! Their all so consistently amazing it blows me away that you did all of them. You've got a genius for the craft that's really uncommon. Most artists have a hit or miss that uses a contrast of light and dark or an interesting exception or an inspiring idea. But you use every trick art has and do it over and over and honestly I love everything you've done. I've got my favorites... 1001 Nights (both of them), Sweet thoughts, Future Echoes of the Past and the entire Avant-Garde Etude, You and Me and Lost City series... But honestly I absolutely love all of your work. — B.H.
