81 artists were selected by the juror Larry Bradshaw, Professor
of Art at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Professor Bradshaw

"'Cecil Herring

of the colors are intensely felt in her artwork "Radical
Pond".'
The exhibition will
be on featured this month of December, 2006 online at www.upstreampeoplegallery.com
and continue for 12 months, closing November 30, 2007.
Further information
in the artist's own words:
"Radical Pond"
I go by this pond on the way to my daughter's house. Sometimes,
I park by the road and take photos from my car window. It was
a bit overcast that day and not as colorful as I like my landscapes.
So I tried to make color from not much color and this was the
result! I call it Radical because I got radical with the color
using a painting knife, scooping up thick globs of paints, making
each stroke serve for a large area and not mixing any of it. I
wanted to say there is action here and an ever changing in the
moment aliveness in a landscape."
Five of Cecil Herring's
works were accepted by the judge out of five entries.
Along with Radical
Pond, Cyclamen, Orchid Bouquet, Puzzle Lake, and Remains of the
Day were all accepted.

a recent collector! 3/2006
Dear
Cecil,
A note to let you know that I received Solar Wind yesterday in
excellent condition. It is a breathtaking work and I sat and stared
at it all evening, totally entranced. I will take a photograph
when it has been hung and send to you. Thank you for such a wonderful
piece.
Best wishes,
Vanessa
MEDIA QUOTES
Laura
Stewart, Daytona News JournalArt Critic, 9/2/05
"When
they go on view at today's DeBary Hall opening reception, the
paintings in "Rediscovering Florida" will be close-up
and personal. That's partly because the works by Cecil Herring
deal with the state's natural subjects, from a view of Lake Osceola
to orchids and the old cabbage palm growing by the side of the
road. But it's also because of the Deltona artist's very direct
approach."

from the wonderful artist
Peter Lanouette, of Rhode Island:
"I
am amazed at the power and scope of your work. I need the boost
visually right now
and am humbled by your energy, vision and output.
There is a direct power there I have an affinity with and
will loot freely from your work for mine.
We're all in it together.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Thank you, again. Your work amazes me."
