“Leonard’s compositions move the viewer’s eye vertically or horizontally across the space. The basic movement is complicated by laters of dripped, speckled, and fragmented colors that infuse not only a rich language of color, but also a visual history left to be discovered by the eye. Leonard’s inventive layering process results in heavy impasto, or textured, surfaces with a glossy, wet shine making them particularly beautiful when seen in person.”
