Just wanted to say how much I liked the design of your website and enjoyed looking at your paintings. I was particularly touched by the two paintings of young children; you can read a lot into their expressions and you have captured the emotions brilliantly. Keep up the good work -

I'm especially taken by "The Quay at Dungarvan".It's almost an abstract, but with a warmth that would be unusual for an abstract painting, a warmth that evokes more than a visual impression. The glow is intriguing, it beckons the viewer to want to enter, not just the tangible but also the promise of peace.

It's very interesting to me that every one of your paintings isn't just a pretty picture in the decorative sense, but also communicates with the mind and the soul of the viewer. "The Quay at Dungarvan" is a good example. The viewer gets drawn in powerfully by the composition and the econonomical use of color, then while he looks, he becomes engulfed by all it elicits in him. For me, it is a desire for warmth, peace, common humanity, reassurance. For others, it might be a promise of joy and celebration, but still, I think, peace and reassurance.

"Killadoon" is a particularly strong painting that exemplifies the merging of the figure and the landscape in a way that's very much your own -strong lines, bold and interesting palette, the focus on the figure, but with the landscape still very much a presence.

We were flattered and delighted that Eveleen opened the Belltable Restaurant Exhibition Space, and will pave the way for many more artists to gain exposure in the city. Her exhibition is both brave and admirable with a deeply personal subject matter that gives us a very rich insight into the artist and the person.

One painting that never fails to stir viewers is "Killadoon", the anti-portrait with its bold composition, strong lines and a color palette that is the opposite of banal.

I found your website, full of beautiful paintings that seem to me to come from a sense for color, feeling and landscape.

I love this painting (The Quay, Dungarvan) - I like that it nearly looks is the word surreal. Totally my kind of painting.

The Irish expressionist painter Eveleen Power is noted for her powerful landscape and figurative works, as well as a range of more intimate compositions alluding to deeper emotional issues.

Her instinctive feeling for colour and exemplary treatment of light imbues each of her canvases with great power. One gets the feeling that she puts a huge amount of herself into each work, to the extent of draining herself completely.

This wholehearted commitment - which, let's face it, is what true expressionism is all about - is what raises Power above many of her contemporaries and makes her art special. The upshot of all this is a portfolio of quite different subject-matter and style, ranging from beautifully evocative realist landscapes - witness her superb depiction of light and shadow in 'The Lookout, Dungarvan', 'Co Waterford Mountains', and 'Blackwater River, Villierstown' - to Impressionist portraits like 'Gillian' and highly expressionist works such as 'Treewoman' and 'Loss and Hope'. Her mysterious Gauguin-like 'Storm' is especially striking. This equal division of talent between realism and expressionism permits Power to reach a very wide audience, and on top of this one feels she is only just beginning to flex her creative muscles.

I can look at Power's paintings for hours. Is there anything more important than this?
