Flat

Too much of what I see called realistic painting is way too flat. I want depth. I still argue that painting something like the Grand Canyon helps an artist to paint a face. Stuff is stuff. Most portrait painters before 1900 could and did paint everything. Many today don't. Which era produced the better painters?

I can spot parts of most paintings where the master tried to fix nature. It's the weak spots with bad color or the parts out of drawing.

Wiles: richly done, good values and color
