“The famous American art critic and collector, Robert Harris Rothchild, wrote: ”Alexander’s works are popular because they celebrate the beauty of the city in all seasons of the year. His vibrant brushwork, his spatially open and airy compositions, and his beautiful blending and mixing of the colors that compose his forms all are essential elements that build his pictures. His paintings create a wonderful scenic, atmospheric moods, and feeling”.
