Yes, the left eye doesn't have a sparkle, maybe that's it, don't worry, it's not the whisky :) Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610306246335194127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492807207246503771.post-67701726621327358472012-11-02T00:58:15.476+01:002012-11-02T00:58:15.476+01:00Yeah, totally don't give up.

I want my portrait in a Larcey retrospective at the Tate before I die, or else I will feel I have entirely failed in life. If I get rich I am going to be your benefactor. Then you'll be able to enter all the competitions you like. Gonna work on getting you some commissions too.<br /><br />If I may pass comment, having just said on your flickr page that this is amazing and captures him really well, and it is amazing, no doubt about it, but looking again I think I want more from his eyes. Not in a gay way. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's maybe his left eye. It has the making of a portrait that could force its way off the canvas, really in your face, really grab you. You're really drawn into his gaze, but when you get there, it's not what you were expecting. Does that make any sense? Probably not, I've been on the whisky.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492807207246503771.post-24038435538315150182012-06-26T13:43:01.601+02:002012-06-26T13:43:01.601+02:00Thanks Rosina!

Las herramientas del google para traducir estan bien cuando contestas a alguien en ebay o para hacer pedidos en amazon pero no para esto. <br />Me ha gustado muchisimo esta ultima reflexion sobre la pintura......estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Es cierto que me encantan los cuadros de R. Estes pero en el fondo me emocionan mas los trabajos de L. Freud......<br />Sin embargo es curioso con el trabajo a lapiz o sanguina prefiero los dibujos con detalle y luz de A. Lopez que los trabajos de D. Hockney......<br />¿por que sera??????<br />.......tal vez tenga que educar mejor el ojo????.<br />....sera simplemente una cuestion de preferencia personal?????<br />....o de alguna forma intuimos la dificultad del medio para mostrar algo??<br />un trazo a lapiz lo hace cualquiera y hacer el trazo correcto suele ser una cuestion de tiempo y practica.<br />Con talento y esfuerzo se puede hacer un buen dibujo a linea al estilo Matisse o E. Schiele.........o no???<br />Sin embargo el color y el pincel me parecen otra historia diferente...o no??Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351413012370055209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492807207246503771.post-72606488834625601722011-02-21T04:00:00.945+01:002011-02-21T04:00:00.945+01:00Hi, I really like your work.

But then other aesthetically driven areas of your mind are making the choices regarding detail, less detail, accentuate, play down and so on. I think your art is a compelling fusion of logic and emotion.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539481782846087328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492807207246503771.post-36173832846461644052010-02-02T23:49:55.538+01:002010-02-02T23:49:55.538+01:00Thanks for your comment Liza, and the link.
