"Vermoskie Exhibition

Some of the names are alluring and of charming poetic significance, and
the promise of designation is more than matched by the genius of their
execution. There is a beauty in nature so entrancing that it arouses a
nostalgic longing for the scenes and the days of one's youth or stimulates in
the soul that reverence for the Creator which prompts the spontaneous tribute of unlisted praise. 'Of shade and sunshine for each hour See here a measure made.' It is evident that the artist has caught the mood and evanescent changes of this, our earthly habitation and imprisoned upon the various canvases." "The light that never was on sea or land. The consecration, and the Poet's dream."
Article from: The Stoughton New-Sentinel, Thursday January 15, 1948:
