The color and composition make them the most exciting pieces.Tom Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624247648988106639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-49015869458999569992007-01-17T12:05:00.000-08:002007-01-17T12:05:00.000-08:00Follow on observation.

What he's up to with the pushed saturations and contrastey warm and cool would be more commonly in the toolbox of an illustrator than a fine artist. i compared him to Lipking mainly because of brush detail. Lipking never plays with color in this way. He uses the approach of graying most color and then having the most intense color saturation be what draws the eye. This artist is using the saturation of Asaro, but not doing the thing that makes you forgive the Asaro which is stay very impressionisticMr Goodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990879366082004882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-71689896974145644062007-01-17T10:05:00.000-08:002007-01-17T10:05:00.000-08:00Nice, clean presentation, strong portraits, good c...Nice, clean presentation, strong portraits, good color work. I think I like the still lifes (lives?) the best... they are the most daring as far as color and composition is concerned. I think his portrait and figure work could benefit from stronger compositions. Otherwise, outstanding work... I wish I could paint that well!rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-80699006755259062382007-01-17T09:21:00.000-08:002007-01-17T09:21:00.000-08:00Yes, I feel the same way.

I find the intense complements, especially the reds and greens, a bit unsettling, but maybe that's his purpose.Tom Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624247648988106639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751429.post-3433841266291799272007-01-17T09:00:00.000-08:002007-01-17T09:00:00.000-08:00I checked out his work.

In fact he seems to be beyond doing monochrome stuff and always goes for saturation and compliments. A guy that brings oils around to this final polish is alien to me. I've never spent the time on an oil painting that would give me his results. I always like the sketchey stuff. Paintings started and partially done studies. When the energy is still intact with the big strokes. Awesome stuffMr Goodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990879366082004882noreply@blogger.com
