Looking at her work is beyond inspiring. I’m particularly stirred by the lost edges, the deliberate block-in strokes which she seems to strategically soften by the gentle “ish” palette in her portraiture and landscapes. I’m now motivated to paint with more forethought, “giving each stick of pigment a purpose”. Thank you!

Szabo’s eloquent explanation of value, hue, and saturation–and how they work together–is the most concise I have ever read. Her work, which appears so loose and effortless, belies the careful consideration that she puts into her mark-making. A timeless lesson for us all, regardless of medium.

Her artwork is just phenomenal and I especially enjoyed her suggestions! Thanks, Gail, for finding such a wonderful artist to comment on your blog.
