An unfinished painting I have been back and forth with. Completion becomes uncertain at about the point that I finish the face. I am always trying to keep things loose but my natural tendency is to highly finish, I guess I am a perfectionist. My wife modeled for it, she is a great artist herself, you can see some work at her blog.

A really rich, strong, exciting color statement. I agree with what Joel Iskowitz said about you at the Mint: "destined for greatness." Except you've already started being great! Keep it up.

Looks great, Dave. How did I not know your wife was this much taller than you? Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great, and do do leave it loose. It's great that way. I'd say, resist the urge to clean things up and make the edges crisp. If you do anything, just push up the depth a little here and there. But use a big brush!
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm anywhere near good enough to be giving you advice...

ReplyDeleteThis is to strong of a piece to just through away on a simple printout.
