well hell. That's very nice.

Bart:

Wow. stunning technique.

(next time, how about a pretty blonde head? :-)

HEY MIKE

Something you might like to go with "Dilemma"?

HEY BART

Too much hair.

Terwiliger:

HEY JOHN

(1) Sometimes your style looks like you're walking the line between romanticism & photorealism--kind of like photorealism viewed through wispy linen. Yeah baby...

(2) Real men like hair.

GarandFan:

Kinda reminds me of boot camp. Same funky colored T-shirt, same haircut, same WWII wood siding on the barracks. View outside is nicer. Mine was of the motor pool.

Terwiliger:

I meant number (1) as a compliment. Your more realistic stuff strikes me as "idealized reality".

John: I just quit my job a couple/few weeks ago and have started working for myself as a day trader. So I just can't right now. Too much in flux.

But yeah. It's pretty much right on.

HEY T

That's pretty accurate. I start with what is suppose to be finely painted reprensentational, then I slowly reveal a focal point (high-detail) that makes secondary areas muted. It usually comes off a bit "dreamy" or surreal.

I had no idea you knew my brother, or his soul...

I truly love it.
