Speaking as a retired architect, this work is great. Speaking as a watercolorist, this work is great. Glad you could be there to capture the scene.

I am so impressed – I love this painting! The yellow against the blue sings, and the figures and their reflections are wonderful.
Colin Cartwright
Superb and imagivative use of watercolour, Marion.
Especially poignant, concerning the subject.
The predominant 2 colours – primaries of blue and yellow, are particularly visually appealing.

Gorgeous choice of colors and wonderful lines. Hard to believe this is watercolor! You have a great talent. I like your description here and on the View from the AmEx building. They would be interesting posted next to each other. It is moving to see the changes that will rebuild such tragic destruction.

Browsing your wonderful art today, I’m highly impressed with the tastefulness of the collection and, although perhaps this one isn’t exactly typical, it really has a very special quality of hope for the future and deserves a wide audience, I think.

Fascinating. Both the concept and the composition.
An unusual, yet compelling choice, for a watercolour!
And a good use of the dual colours of yellow and blue.
Excellent.
