Here is another 6x8" oil painting I'm calling "Patience". This is currently on the wall of The Art House Galleryon Cape Cod.
It was painted fairly quickly for me..there was a point where I was standing before it with my brush, looking for the next spot to paint and I realized it was done. It's always been hard for me to decide when a painting is complete, I've ruined many by over working them. The great painter William Merritt Chase once said, "It takes two to paint. One to paint, the other to stand by with an axe to kill him before he spoils it."
That's a great quote! Tess turned me on to your work. I spent a good part of the morning perusing your blog (don't tell my boss). Your work is outstanding. Really admire your illustrations for the children's market.
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are lovely. I especially admire the broken color you've achieved.
ReplyDeleteRobert and Michelle,
ReplyDeletethanks a million, seriously. It's always good to get the ego stroked..particularly by two talented folks like yourselves.
All the best,
Todd
