Hi! We share a name! Also an interest in painting. I am trying to start painting again after many years. Your site is an inspiration. When I saw some of your paintings I thought "Wish I'd said that".

I have a lovely studio so off I go to see what happens.

Meanwhile, happy painting!

Dearest Mary,

How serendipitous our seeing each other on Water Street that summer day in 2001. Mother would have so loved THAT. The beautiful "three graces" hangs over the mantle of my fireplace and it is much admired. How far we've traveled since the days of Bon Air.

Oh yeah, great web site!

much love to you and Peter,

Anastasia

Mary, you really have become very accomplished. I am impresed, not just by the website, but by what is on it and behind it. Your paintings are stunning, and show a virtuosity and scope that is mature and masterful. Congratulations. You are an inspiration to me.

Dear Mary,

Your For Your Children collection is beautiful. I especially like the birthday party. Just like the beautiful piece that you gifted Sarah at her birth, the feeling of wonderment, adventure and excitement about life shows itself in your painting.

Great work.

Love,

Suzy

hi mary, just checking in, karen

Hello Mary,

My sister, Dee Dee shared with me that she had seen you shopping in Richmond. She said she knew exactly who you were! I don't know if I'd recognize you or not, but I do remember your girls well, especially Kim. Dee Dee says you live here in C'ville too. What a small world!! We are right in town next to Charlottesville High School.

I confess I am not an artsy person, but it has been fascinating seeing your work on the webpage. I will have to check and see when your next show is.

Take care,

Allison Edwards Woodside

Hi Mary-here's my second attempt at cracking your website.

07/11/2005 04:09June

Mary and I have been friends from the womb. She has always been creative. While I was trying to keep inside the lines of my coloring book she was creating little masterpieces.

My husband and I are the proud owners of six of Mary's paintings. We wish her much success with her truly brilliant art work.

07/04/2005 09:12Suzy Johnson

Mary,

What a beautiful display of the whole body of your work. Your new web site captures the spirit and energy of your work and reveals a great deal about the "creator" which makes the work display in a much more interesting way.

Great web site. Best wishes to your future success.

Love,

Suzy and Paul

Being the proud owner of three of your pieces, I continue to marvel at your energy and insight. "Powerful" is the best word I can think of to describe the effect of everything you do -- in painting and in life!

Love your website. Love you.

Mary Atkinson Paints.

The paintings on this site, spiced as they are with the generous, revealing commentary from the artist, allow us a rare glimpse into the mind of a gifted and thoughtful painter and a remarkable human being.

Atkinsons art is intensely personal, yet it speaks to all of us, to our shared humanity. In the tradition of the artist as societys mirror, her paintings invite contemplation, and provoke discussion.

But although the work is quite conceptual, in fact, rich with meaning, it appears fresh and spontaneous. Painterly and full of color and texture. A difficult thing to do.

Mary Atkinson is a painter whose work defies categorization and deserves attention. It is courageous and more importantly, it has integrity. She is someone to watch. And support.

Mary,

Your site is beautiful! Your paintings are 'exhibited' favorably and in a truly user-friendly format. I like the collections groupings and the narrative that accompanys each.

The colors are vivid and true to the works. I wish you luck with your site and hope you receive many 'hits' and purchases!
