“The acquisition of an artwork is something very personal, even for a trained art historian like me. A number of Marjorie Morrow’s works are displayed in my home in places that I can see them on and off throughout the day. They bring me joy.
“Like Marjorie, I love the power of color. I also enjoy very much the uniqueness of her pictorial language, which is always evolving. From time to time I visit her website to refresh my memory of the many paintings I fell in love with over the years as I have been fortunate to follow the career of this fine artist for several decades.”

Field with Late Afternoon Moonrise | 1999. Pastel & mixed media on paper. 10 x 24 inches.
“The moon in all its shapes and shining is a theme that Marjorie has explored often. I have one of a series inspired by the scenery of fields surrounding her studio in upstate New York. In this pastel, the artist catches up the moon just at dusk, appearing through clouds. The burnt grass is depicted in a field that emanates a neon-like orange light. It is compressed by wavering black forms, like a prelude for a tense and dark night.”
