I enjoyed the lesson on how primary colors make up the color wheel. The location allowed each participant to select lines, and shapes to develop a perspective drawing just by turning left or right, which showed the creative mind of Don Stephens finding a location in the city which offers so much for the artist. I admired the attention he gave to each person offering encouragement along the way. Thanks for your inspiring commitment to Art.

This was such a thorough quick crash course in seeing color, shape, line, surface and all the important aspects of the color wheel. Very informative and really a very pleasant and valuable experience.

Excellent. A fun and very informative morning!
COMMENT FROM RECENT 2 MAN SHOW
I saw your and Don's show at Votta Hall a few weeks ago. They moved my Summer 1 drawing class from Mt. Holly Center to the Mount Laurel campus so I went to see the show after my class.
In Don's work I liked the softness and the subtlety of the background of aerosol paint which evoked a landscape or topography that is juxtaposed to the more linear elements that seem to live on the surface of the picture plane. Even the linear elements seemed to weave in and out of space as well as overlap.
