“These are no ordinary flower paintings. They…have action and an emotional charge…They range from elegance to mystery to drama.”  Will Barnet, American artist

“Janet Alling’s flowers are pure New England. They are civilized and isolated. They are decorous, contained, and make no overture to fashion. The mystery of meaning reminds me of Emily Dickinson. The paintings are straight forward and impenetrable.”  Alex Katz, American artist
