"He deftly tackles the nude with mediums other than oil; several chalk and pencil drawings also illustrate this young man's fine talent. He believes that the essential element of great painting and drawing is the line. From his direct approach with either pencil or brush, Frooman adds to his basic lines like a clever man at jackstraw so each addition contributes to the total structure. Cross-hatching and overlapping of pure colors and subtle tones develop the living forms of flesh right before your eyes."

-- Don Anderson, Chicago
