Submitted by Guest on Mon, 08/31/2009 - 11:33am.Doris is a great artist.
She painted a beautiful watercolor of my daughter, her fiance, and their two dogs walking toward the Chesapeake Bay on the grounds of the 18th Century farmhouse where they later held their wedding. The bride and groom were thrilled! Doris can capture the essense of people in her paintings, as well as the beauty around her in all mediums.
Doris Glovier is a dear friend, and so I know how loving and kind a person she is. This shows up in her paintings: the love she has for people and the natural beauty that abounds on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I am so proud of the recognition Doris is now receiving for her talents.
