“Painter Ada Pullini Brown’s gorgeous cloudscape with sunlight slipping through shadowy areas and a thin gold line accenting the horizon. Brown's careful articulation of light and dark recalls the cloud paintings of British artist John Constable. With his dual interests in emotionalism and new views of the natural world, Constable is often considered a practitioner of Romanticism. Brown's work adds a layer of nostalgia to historic Romanticism: a reminder that our environment is no longer a pristine paradise, but instead a threatened, endangered realm.”
