...artworks weren't created by experienced painters. They are the work of the learning disabled children, ages 9 to 13, who McVearry teaches in Washington, D.C. They have been diagnosed with conditions like attention deficit disorder and Tourette's syndrome. One student with dysgraphia, who cannot even hold a pencil, produced five paintings...
...Annette Lemieux's audience, the wall reappears, in pieces. "Crossing the Rubicon," her newest piece, was featured last month at the Mario Diacono gallery in Boston. In Diacono's presentation, the two canvas panels (with pencil, gesso, pumice and acrylic on the left-hand panel and water-based ink and acrylic on the right) attract the viewer out of a cube of white, bare walls. Similarly, Lemieux's piece lifts her bricks out of a blank space, penciled, then layered with textural media, delivering geometric packages of a single, double or triple artistry...
...exemplary attempt to answer the unanswerable question: Why could she never plug the jagged hole in her heart? Much of her appeal lies in our inability to explain away her bottomless neediness.

...Less than enthralling. I am not a captious man, but this wine’s heavy nose was so striking, the experience was almost enervating. The bouquet possesses an unsteady, if protean structure: alternating undertones of honey and pencil lead emanate. Though not excessively rustic per se, I sense a sour, dense, deep tannin with a persistent, yet subtle, inner, unpalatably concentrated fruitiness. It leaves an unpleasant emptiness. In a sense, the finish is a bit jejune...
...make themselves heard, life won't get any easier. Someday, the labels hope, consumers will walk up to Web-enabled kiosks in convenience stores and airport terminals, punch in a credit-card number and instantly download two new Mariah Carey songs onto a cassette the size of a pencil tip. When that happens, who's going to bother trawling through thousands of MP3s for the next Fisher? That's why, sitting at a Melrose Avenue cafe early this year, Fisher and Wasserman seemed more relieved than elated. There are now at least 1 million songs available for download on MP3.com...
