"Harwood’s artistry springs from
a tradition of architect transformed to painter….What
makes his work exciting is the highly inventive sculptural
approach he takes with his presentation."
Mark Leithauser, Chief of Design of the National Gallery
of Art
"Harwood’s
watercolors combine an assortment of panels, each executed
separately, then layered together at various depths and angles.
The painter displays the resulting three-dimensional assemblages
in a deep frame with inwardly beveled matting."
Bilen Mesfin, Art & Antiques Magazine
"[His]
painting…captures the interplay of blinding light and
deep shadow so typical of summer in Mediterranean countries."
Ferdinand Protzman, The Washington Post
