Jimmie, darn it if you didn't out-do yourself again. I agree with all the compliments and I love how you really grounded Dana. Sure, she's in the corner but she looks like at any moment she could come out and take off someone's head. I mean that as a compliment as well.

Jimmie,

You

Oh, I really love this painting! The harsh lighting and shadows on the wall, I think, help make this a really compelling piece of work.

Thanks guys,

I bet she'd take it as a great compliment also.

Have a look at his slaves. Especially the Rebellious Slave is a body that fight against tight ropes. I think that Dana

Awesome Jimmie, you amaze me.

Jimmie Arroyo · 05-05-2005, 08:46 AM

Looked up the slaves, yes, I have seen them before. Shame they were never finished.

Thanks Mary!

Should've posted on this earlier, but I've been time-constrained until recently. But now, then...

Yes, this is the next level for you, Jimmie - as I'd said in the critiques section regarding this portrait. And I don't mean that with regard to your technical proficiency - though it's coming faster and better already - I'm referring to subject and mood. We're edging the provocative rather than the evocative in this piece. This is a good, dynamic area to explore, and basically takes your solid portrayal of character and turns up the volume on it. Pretty soon, we'll have to get you an amp that goes to eleven. (Spinal Tap joke... Hello? Is this thing on?)

Congratulations on yet another strong finish, Jimmie!

I go away for a brief time to California and Jimmie steals my corsets! It would be OK if he were to actually WEAR them, but NO, he has to do a sinfully fabulous painting with it.

How did I miss this, fresh original and better yet edgy and sexy without being tacky calender art.

Beautifuly designed.

Thanks Sharon and Rob (sorry Rob, I did'nt notice this until now

)

Why not just make ten louder?

Hmm, something tells me that will never happen. Or will it?

Thanks again.
