  Viewed the monumental Joan Mitchell exhibit at San Francisco MOMA. Her works are spell bounding. Enjoyed your take on her works. Thanks.

  Thanks again James. Love looking at these paintings and the way you zoom in and explore the surface. I am sitting here by my wood burning stove on a cool autumn evening in rural &nbsp;England , and I am getting a guided tour of a gallery show in New York. And not just any gallery show, oh no. Joan Mitchell !!! How good is that?<br>I&apos;ll tell you. It&apos;s really good.

  Joan Mitchell wasn’t given enough credit as a colorist in my opinion as you also pointed out. There is a captivating overlay of depth and light in color accompanied by such explosive action yet with such grace in movement allowing for patrons of her work to have an emotional response to each piece...something I so love about her work. Wonderful review. Thank you for touring for those of us that couldn’t be physically present. It is very much appreciated.
