"Swedish
Folkart is a beautiful, informative book that has been truly needed
for some time. I will treasure it."
-- Nina Ehlers, Lakewood, CO
"Congratulations
to both you and Gudmund (Aarseth, Graphic Designer) on your new book.
Your best ever, I think, I am very impressed with all your knowledge."
-- Sigmund Aarseth, Heggenes, Norway
"I like this book. As one who is just learning the Swedish Folk painting
this is going to be a well-used resource. The book is full of color
pictures that are beautifully done. The book has pictures of old pieces
and pieces recently done by Diane. I appreciate that she has listed
the sources for inspiration for each of the pieces that she has done.
I like history and she gives good background information on the early
artists, styles, materials used, how to prepare woodenware and procedures.
Those with more painting experience will also equally benefit from this
book."
