Spring in Santa Barbara Painting

"Arden Rose's painting, radiant with color and harmony, speaks the truth. It thus appears like the affirmation of our dearest desire to find paradise lost - once again..." - excerpt from the preface in English and in French, by André Parinaud, Art Critic, Art Historian; Paris, France Published in the book Arden Rose, the Vision of a Painter (this book may be ordered from Arden Rose) "Arden Rose is the best Impressionist artist in the United States! The lyrical harmonies she paints are so outstanding in beauty, color, light and Impressionist technique, that when I saw her exhibit at Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, I suddenly had the feeling it was 1882, and here was Monet and Renoir." - F. Lanier Graham, Former Chief Curator, The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; Former Curator, The Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Art Historian: Author of Three Centuries of American Painting, and Three Centuries of French Art
