Tony,

This is a wonderfully inviting painting, and so satisfying in every nook and corner to savor. I love it's painterliness, and agree with all the above praise from everyone else. Please give us some details to fill our appetites. We are hungry for closeups.

Your talent is awesome. I just enjoyed your website, and noticed everyone in your family is extraordinarily talented too. Not a surprise!

Your movie trailer is fantastic. Is that actually circulating in theatres?

Congratulations!

Garth

Thanks for the kind words. I am getting some photography lighting equipment this week so I will get some good closeups to post.

I wish they would circulate that trailer in theaters.... not enough sex in it though!!! ;-)

First, your name fits you well. This work resounds with professionalism. I see you have a well developed sense of composition. I also see some educated, practiced brush-handling. Your work would fit in in Santa Fe and Scottsdale.

The couple of remarks I have are possibly a result of the jpeg quality only but here's what I see on my PC. I wonder about values. To be specific-the darks in th distance should not be as dark as those up close. I think you might have seen a bit of warm color bounced up into the roof/porch. Additionally, there might well have been some form indicated even in the darkest parts of the dark robe in the fore as this work is outside essentially and light must bounce about. Wilson Hurley lectured me on this not too long ago.

I really do like the work and I'm reminded of Mian Situ and Ron Ricks, the CAA. I think I have his name right.

Old Man
 

Tony, did you post that old man that's on your website? It's really very good.

Tony,

I am so glad to see this finished - I knew it would be a beautiful painting from the start. I especially like the darks in the front - you have handled all the values so well. The subject is also one I am interested in - I have to go there first, to take some pictures to paint from though!

Sincerely,

Denise

Which painting of the Old Man?

Thanks so much from your compliments.

Painting is my passion and the quest to seek professionalism is my goal.

White beard
 

The man with the white beard. Wonderful.

Beautiful Tony! I too would love to see some close ups. :)

Here you go Tim
 

This is the best I can do as the original is in a gallery in Connecticut...

Hope this is close enough....

Tony
