Having to rely on the Library to check this forum I have been extremely remiss in viewing inspirational pieces, to feed my artist self. Wow, Marvin comes through every time with tremendous inspiration (and I am not just saying this cuz I am Catholic - chuckle, chuckle!) I went to his site and studied the close-ups, the hands are so amazing, the overall color blows me away. I wonder how many contemporary artists can ever achieve his level of mastery over a medium.

We are so fortunate to have Marvin's work to study. If anyone has had the pleasure of seeing a piece of his in person, as I have, it is pure inspiration. Sometimes it's is as if the subject is breathing.

I feel honored and blessed to have studied with Marvin and I look forward to being in his workshop once again in June (if only to model). Looking forward to coming away with a deeper knowledge of his pallette and approach.
We students are fortunate that Marvin enjoys teaching and is such a good one at that. See you soon, Maavelous Maaavin!!!

This is indeed a masterpiece. I am simply awestruck by such talent. Congratulations to Mark for both its execution and the honor that was given. It is my hope that someday I could also study under such talent!

This painting must be spectacular to see in person. What are its dimensions?

Dianne
