"As deep toned leaves begin to fall in anticipation of the first snowfall of the season, the loveliest of harmonies in nature are viewed simultaneously in nature and in the art of LeConte Stewart. Exquisitely modulated tones of gray, rose, lavender, purple, violet and their complementary russets are seen as 'the ashes of roses.' Pigments meticulously placed on a reliable palette speak eloquently of the poetry and intimate relationship of the artist and nature."

Mary Margaret Morgan Muir, 1978
