Steve M:

"Slow Return" to painting? To recovery? This has a nice richness to the flesh colors and seems Middle Eastern or Greek influenced -or maybe a Pre Raphaelite style subject.

Terwiliger:

The vibe I get is enhanced & colorized turn of the century (19th-20th) tintype. It's been a long time since I've seen the book (back when my father talked me out of studying art because "There's no money in it"), but I think it reminds me of one of the series from The Human Figure in Motion.

Doc Al:

Reminds me a little of Linda Ronstadt (from the old days - before she started to look like that John Travolta character in Hairspray).

I love our work, but even more I love your use of media upon which you paint.

I don't know if it's intentional, but each of your masonite works isn't necessarily just the painting, but the paiting over a media that accentuates the painting.

It's like you are obeying the stone, rather than manipulating it.

HEY WICKEDPINTO

Excellent insight. That's definitiely how I approach this kind of work: Nail the stone surface, then paint in the figure as if the surface is actually effecting the brush strokes.

I rock twice as much as I originaly thought!
