"Rick's sense of placement for the viewer is remarkable. He gives us great vistas with a mellow sense of our point of view.
The viewer is taken in by the vast expanse of sea and sky. We are not lost in the view as much as we are part of it.
Rick relates the greatness of the sea and sky, light and land to us with pin-point accuracy. He has the sense and ability
to show us the greatness of Cape Cod."

"Autumn's Gift is a stark, minimal view of the coastline that focuses on the atmospheric conditions that fall brings to the Cape each year."

"Looking
at the play of colors and clouds in a Fleury landscape is as refreshing as being
outside
on a brisk autumn day or as invigorating as watching the clouds roll in just
before a storm.
Fleury pares down to the essential elements to create refreshingly meditative
compositions,
every work a breath of fresh air."

"Fleury's works speak of intent, deliberateness, confidence and honesty... There is nothing quaint or charming about Fleury's work. His paintings are serious forays into the discovery of the landscape and the artist's physical and spiritual understanding of it after months and years of dedicated study."
