"Eric is a natural-born teacher - watching him, I immediately wanted to start painting something myself (and I always hated art in school because I felt I had no talent whatsoever). Alas, I have no watercolors and brushes in my office. Eric made it look so easy, but also fun at the same time!"
"Hi Eric,
Wanted to tell you that I just watched the Eric en Plein air pilot and loved it. So much so - that I have started looking for my own watercolors which I think I have stored away. Not found them anywhere yet but will continue looking for them. Also need to think about appropriate paper. Used to have lots but may need more now. And brushes... I have some watercolor brushes somewhere too...
Anyway, haven't had any art instruction in decades and you made me want to start working again.
Thank you very much, my friend."

"The Episode 7 segment with J. Is fabulous, Eric. Your quiet confidence, artistic talent and instructional skill really showed through. Congratulations on your Public television debut. You are bound for much continued success! 💕"
"Eric, thank you for sharing this peek into the filming of the segment. The natural beauty of Celery Farm, Jim Wright’s narrative and your clear instructional description make this episode just perfect . It is so very exciting to know this series is happening, and in our treasured locale. Well done !💕"
"Eric is a gift. He is brilliant and I am so excited that he is sharing his art and passion with more people."
"I hope you are well. May I ask, is Eric en Plein Air a pilot for a series and can I expect other offerings? If it is to be a PBS series and available in my area, I would watch it. If it would help and is necessary, perhaps you should tell someone that. I know I'm only one person, and on another coast, but we have PBS too..."
"This is fantastic! We are not surprised by your accomplishments and are so proud of you! 🤗"
"Good morning, Eric, Loved watching the show. It was so relaxing. And the Celery Farm is a beautiful setting! You are a great artist. The painting just comes to life. I admire your talent. 🥰"
"Hola Eric cómo estás?!
Man these are great news, congratulations! I think there are not that much TV shows about teaching art that are lead by a real artist and that try to be more serious about what they teach. I like what you mention about empowering people to have a more structured way of painting. I'm sure this will be inspiring for many people. Man I wish you all the best in this adventure and hope this TV show will be on air for long! Just think if a little kid sees this TV show and you spark something good in his life you would have accomplished your mission, or an adult who has talent but never had the chance to approach art... just think about these possibilities."

"Congratulations, Eric! Loved watching you paint with J. Especially loved the flower crown!"
"You may be interested to know that I do not normally watch Life In Bloom - it was on by accident, but accidents have led to wonderful discoveries before. I was too busy to change the channel but am glad I did not. I am certainly anticipating your upcoming show. I was impressed by you as well as J Schwanke"
"Good morning Eric I just wanted you to know that I thought the episode that you were on was excellent for the life in Bloom painting. I’m going to pass this along to my sister who is an art teacher in Jersey City and a good friend of mine who also paints. Can’t wait to see new episodes! Congrats! 👨🎨🎨🖼️"
How exciting! And congratulations!! What a natural you are in front of the camera! Also, it was nice to see you highlighting the Celery Farm. It was beautifully filmed, the lighting, etc. You did a great job…with the interview and, of course…the painting, a peaceful study of the trees. Well done! I hope they run with your show in production, beyond the pilot.
"Hello Eric, I love the video. I cannot wait to see the first episode of your show. ❤️🥰✌️"
"Eric

Excellent! I really enjoyed watching you paint and develop the painting. I'm especially interested in how you did the reflections. I never get that looking the way I want. I can't say I've ever tried wet on wet for that, now I have something to try.
"I also mentioned in my note that I believe you said you would be taping the first episode of your tv show this coming Friday. That note probably will not reach you before that time, but I wanted to say congratulations and best of good luck. You deserve accolades."
"Congratulations Eric!!!
Looks amazing!!! Best of luck on your newest journey!!!
Love and hugs"

"Hi Eric,
Just watched your guest appearance. Was wonderful! Loved hearing about the different steps in creating a painting, shape, value and color, so interesting."
