Ellen McCormick Martens: Testimonials

"It's Ellen's exuberant and unexpected mix of strong, rich colors that first captured and held my eye. After living with 'Light Through Trees' and 'Riverwalk' for a while, I commissioned the much larger 'Yellow Irises' to grace my entry hall, and it exceeded my expectations. One can almost smell the thick stand of yellow blooms framed by electric water, trees and sky.

Ellen's gift is her ability to show the excitement of the life force in the simplest of scenes, yet with a control that renders them soothing and balanced. They elicit a spiritual quality that both energizes and uplifts me. It is a delight to live with them and share them with my guests."

"I came home last night from our trip and had a temp of 100.5 and was feeling totally worn out. I slept for 9 hours and woke up this morning with sniffles. I then put on a CD of Bach and went to your web site of previous paintings and went through all of them. I love that you have done so many pictures of Wisconsin. The water, sky, trees, hills, and color...oh the color. I am a colorist at heart. A fauv in passion. I like that your images are complicated visually and soothing in emotional effect. thank you once again."

I've hung one of Ellen's stunning pieces in my salon for years. It is a rendering of St. Maarten in the Caribbean. It's gotten nothing but compliments on it; I find it refreshing and never tire of looking at it."
--Ken Cochrane, Salon Switch, Buffalo, New York
