Just say WOW
Marvin,
Really all I can say is WOW. I see into his thoughts, I think???? The eyes have it and the skin glows. Please do tell me about how long you work on one painting like this?? I think I still don't have enough patience.
I just received my order of meglip in the mail and even though it looks like liquin -- I know it isn't!! I'll start trying it out tomorrow - even though the technique I am using right now is thick straight paint with knife and big brushes (except the occasional figure in the chair, etc.).
I was in Charleston, SC this past week and caught some of my favorite painters' work at Ann Long Gallery. I would imagine you are familiar with these artists. The show is called American Realists and features Kamille Cory (wow), Ben Long (a fellow NC resident), Jill Hooper (teaches at College of Charleston) and a few other noted artists. It was amazing seeing their work up close as I have only seen flyers, magazine and internet images before last week. I am truly amazed at their work. Jeffrey Mims work was not represented, maybe they sold his.
The portrait is wonderful as is all your work!
