"The artist, John Smith"
It's been a while since I have posted anything. I have been so busy with life events and changes that I haven't had time for anything.
I am just now catching up on my postings...
Here is a 19x12 "The artist, John Smith"
John is an artist from up in Putney, Vermont that paints with Richard Schmid. He sat for us when I was up there in October 05.
Enjoy...
Tony

Tony, this one is wonderful, too! I wish you would post more often! I find myself especially drawn to the interesting colors you've chosen around his cheek, nose, and eyes. The other thing I notice is how you've riveted the viewer's attention on this focal point by putting in all the crisp edges and value changes, while the hair, beard, and sweater are less sharp. I also like the way you did the hairline. Great portrait!

Hi Tony,
This is yet an exceptional piece of work since you last unveiled your Japanese figurative piece quite a while ago. Did it take you long to paint this?
And would you care to share your thoughts on developing this piece on the WIP thread or something of the sort?
Last but not least, i congratulate you on being selected for entry into GreenHouse Salon International 2006, together with Linda Brandon!

Yikes Tony! What Alex said. This is stupendously wonderful. Such interesting poetic colors and impactful brushwork, in a very complete painting! Tony, your genius is intimidating; fortunately you are such a grounded friend. I will spend some time gawking as this masterpiece unfolds its secrets, little by little.
