Hi Albert. Thanks. The ARC website has many hi-res WB images for download, which is one reaason why I chose him and have done so many. Here's a link to it: http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/art.asp?aid=7.

I have learned a few things, I think. First, he worked with values and neutrals. He didn't blend much, but placed colors carefully based on values needed. I think this allowed him to acheive that sparkly look.

There may be more things I've learned that haven't come to the surface yet. But waht I've learned is changing the way I'm painting. My work is becoming faster, and more direct.
