"......Townsend is able to create subjects that appear to pop from the canvas... She continues to stake
a place for herself as a professional oil painter with collectors throughout the US." Mountain Living Magazine
(And as of 2008, collectors in Canada, Netherlands, Japan, and Russia.)
"Amazingly entertaining oil portraits of man & woman's best friend: the dog.
And sometimes: the cat. And sometimes that other best friend: the old truck.
Combine 'em all and you'll see why her work is so loved.
Who doesn't want a dog that can drive a truck?
Townsend's sense of humor and her love for the animals clearly
reveals itself on each gallery-wrapped original. Of course Townsend lives
in constant fear that she will be run over by Toonces, the cat that could drive a car."
Victor Cooper - Rafters Gallery
"Dogs, cats, trucks and Flagstaff may be said by most, I would like to comment from a
profesional
point of view. Watching Connie develop her style, palette and brushwork over time she has excelled
with her talent. She will always be a Flagstaff treasure." S J Shaffer - Shaffer The Gallery, Sedona
"Thank you for committing joy on canvas."- Elaine Morrison
"I lust for Townsend's big ass trucks." - Mike Frick - Flag Live Arts & Entertainment Weekly
"Local artist, Connie Townsend, sure has a way with dogs." - Betsey Bruner - Flagstaff Daily Sun
"A Townsend painting takes me to a calm, joyful place. Simple and stunning all at once." -
Elizabeth Driscoll - GoDaddy.com
"Her paintings speak to me and leave me feeling uplifted and happy. I own five. " L. Quinn
"We bought two paintings from Connie...her style is fresh and bold. We also like the local flavor
and historical feel to her work." Jim Babbitt
"Her paintings have a quirky humor that reflects how a lot of us dog owners see our dogs ....
Connie is able to capture that essential whimsey. I own four." Winnie Ennenga
" Connie is a Flagstaff treasure and her work keeps getting better and better." Judy Stamm, San Diego, CA
