you have a wonderful ability to create a picture with great economy of marks - is this the sign of a very accomplished artist? this is such a lively work, the personailty jumps out. i love the way you use the colour of the paper as your finished colour.
I suppose you have exhibited, sold your work ... are you well-known? i am sorry i do not know names in contemprorary art.
Dear Addon! You absolutely spoil me; well, You have already succeded. Thank You, thank You so much; and for nothing more than for the incredible attention with which You approach those - few - marks. It must be Your own great painterly sensitivity putting the whole thing in relief. Which, by the way, is what this is all about, the eye of the beholder. As for economy - well, it just clicks: the transportability, time, price even. You know the european catch: Grand ambitions, tiny ressources, little space.
The personality of the sitter is his own, hard work: after another beer there on the waterfront, with a well practised move he smoothed his eyebrows outwards and proceeded to strangle me. The other trolls around freed me, way to fast to have their own portraits done. I did a lot of smallish exhibitions years ago, had very friendly responsa and sold some, but people told me often that my things had to much angry intensity to hang calmly on walls. So I went on to become a very self-controlling interpreter. I think this whole blogging thing is a godsend for showing ones work; I just wish there was a way to make the pictures fill the whole frame, and jump at the viewer like you can make powerPoint do. I'd love to stand here talking to You much more, but I must run to se more of New South Wonderfull Wales over at Your Blog... Thank You once more, and see more of Your pictures soon
It's so interesting how just by using the color scheme you do, you make me think of Cezanne. What must it be like to have colors so inextricably tied to one's work? I agree with Adam, your economy of marks is really extraordinary.
