A REVIEW: BY DOROTHY M. JOINER
In a third waterscape, Laurie Pagels balances an island
rounded with autumnal foliage in the center with irregular,
wooded areas on either side. Casting radiant images on the
lake in the foreground, the scene, titled Stillness, (2006)
conflates the symbolic perfection implicit in the circle
with the tranquility of nature.
