The great thing about paint offs is that they are like rising tides...they raise all the boats to a higher level.

You bring up an interesting point, and that is, when does one put down the brush and sign the painting? Sometimes the "Immediacy" of a painting can "go south" if overworked. You may have noticed that I have left the sky, distant fields, and tree unpainted. I struggle with both sky and trees. I'm letting this piece rest for a while, and will come back and finish it before the Dec. 12 deadline. Wish me luck.

Wish I had done this...David, ...wow!!! <EM>oustanding</EM>!! Wish I had done this one! You have achieved the 'luminous effect' using predominantly opaque pigments! A happy 'vehicle' of your colours. Wow!!<BR/><BR/>A comical self-effacing commentary adds to the colour of your post! But anyone who knows 'anythoing' about colour in art, would recognise this as a masterful work. <BR/><BR/>The late great American color theorist Faber Birren (1900-1988), who wrote extensively on 'luminosity', 'irridence' in art (using traditional pigments, namely, ones that were <EM>not intrinsically that way</EM>), would, I'm sure, be smiling upon you! <EM>Seems to me you're one of those rare 'luminosity luminaries'</EM>! There's no 'dense darks'— that would collapse the sense of inner light/luminosity. The colours are generally compressed to mid-high key values. The <EM>variegation</EM> of colour whilst maintaining luminosity is IMO an outstanding feature of this work. To my eyes the work seems fully 'whole'... maybe all that's lacking is the signature! <BR/><BR/>The intentionally and artfully placed pipes in the foreground (like dislodged giant 'extractors'??!) are transposed in the background (leaning against the barn) like triple exhausts???!<BR/><BR/>This truck is 'going nowhere fast'. But 'nowhere fast' is maybe like 'everywhere slow'?? In the latter sense, for me, your work resonates with Edward Hopper's painterly sense of silent aloneness. Yet your painting extends EH's colours: there is a time-transcendent quality and, the colours combined with the subject convey, for me, less the importance of 'particularness' and specialness of <EM>time</EM> and/or locale than a <EM>universal</EM> one. For me, this truck could be in US, Aust, India, anywhere. Everywhere. <BR/><BR/>..it should be in that museum!<BR/>cheers<BR/>~Wwaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902338888627726872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-41785210965908225002008-11-18T12:06:00.000-08:002008-11-18T12:06:00.000-08:00Milind: That's funny, my clothes attract paint lik...Milind: That's funny, my clothes attract paint like a magnet attracts iron filings!
