It's good to have a wide variety of inspirations then draw the qualities from them you like while maintaining your own vision or style.<br />Yes on the thumbnails. I do the same, think about those things in my head when I should have worked it out beforehand. Then I have to stop to work it out. Fortunately it wasn't too late here.<br />Ironically thumbnails like these don't take long to do. But we humans rush into or forget sometimes don't we?<br />Now... what was I just saying? Oh well...<br /><br />Keep painting...David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678510662517034889.post-91828471941930373372014-03-27T04:47:57.079-07:002014-03-27T04:47:57.079-07:00This was really helpful for me.

I really like where you said, "quality of light and pops of color that keep it from being too oppressive, a characteristic present in much of the mid century California Watercolor Style and the work of... Art Riley, Hardie Gramatky, Millard Sheets, Emil Kosa Jr., Jack Laycox,Frederic Whitaker, Watson Cross Jr., Crandall Norton, Mary Blair, Joseph De Mers among others, which I have been looking at recently.<br />Realism does not always have to be naturalistic...sometimes another quality better supports an idea than a more naturalistic depiction does." That makes a lot of good sense to me! Also, thanks for sharing your thumbnails with the different patterns of light... that's REALLY helpful to see how it makes such a difference to the whole piece. I usually think about those things in my head, but I should play with them more as studies before I begin my color pencil version. Your painting is really wonderful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678510662517034889.post-13330369927565463642012-07-11T11:36:05.191-07:002012-07-11T11:36:05.191-07:00ricardo,

I seek in my work and that of other artists. I search and search my way. We all help in our work.

Like any great great work of art this painting speaks for itself and it says volumes. I am afraid that anything I write about it would do it an injustice.<br />"Wow! and "Bravo!" come to mind!<br />Thank you posting for all the world to enjoy.<br />(Again, thanks for visiting my blog!)<br />Take care.<br />Michaelart by Michael Perchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767323223269323935noreply@blogger.com
