I feel like you’ve captured more than just figures with your use of light, almost like you’ve revealed an indication of spirit.

It is the sunlight that draws me in and makes me think I am looking at reality. I love your artwork.

The light in these paintings is exquisite! Very impressive. Had a hard time deciding which were my favorites, urban scenes, still life or figures… still can’t decide. Did love the lemon!

Strokes that are so luscious and juicy that I can almost hear the loaded brush against the substrate. The landscapes seem to record moments that one would take for granted as they walked down an innocuous street or shopped, preoccupied, in a mall. Rich light and highlights bouncing, reflecting and twinkling throughout. Representational as they are they pull you into another plane, very much like cognitive dreaming.
Though the portraits an figure work are just as painterly as the landscapes, emotionally I didn’t feel as carried away. They are direct and recognizable, but lack the stimulus for fantasy.

Does show every bit of “hurry” with light applied to the womens’ swooshing skirt. Then, there’s those still and those lollygagging along. It does make me “feel” also. Another “thanks”.

Amazing. I love the color pallete you use in the grand central station picture. I love the movement too. Very interesting. The light peeking from the ceiling onto the floor is lovely.

Is the setting the subject or the object of the characters with in it? Brilliant. Expressing character through gesture, not portaiture. Very impressive. The viewer is a fly on the wall. Makes us look inside to consider how we treat others. And the light is fantastic.

Grand Central is absolutely beautiful. The way he captured the light and the brush strokes on the woman’s skirt is simply fantastic. It looks more like a picture of Grand Central than a painting. Well done!

Stunning.

The light, and in particular, reflections of light are so spot on. I dare say that the painting of true light is more important to realistic effect than any ammount of meticulous brush strokes. And yes, like Beckie B has stated already, the strokes in these pieces add a compelling and necessary sense of movement to very urban scenes. Brilliant work. It makes me feel. P.S. To lesley, Does technical skill make a “real painter”? I’ve seen a lot of paintings that are technically near perfect, but inspire absolutely no emotions in me. Is Van Gogh a real painter? I dare say his brush strokes are less than technical. Just food for thought

The style of brush strokes used in this painting are absolutly amazing! While some could confuse the work as sloppy, they really add a movement to the work that would be neglected by fine detail.

I am absolutely taken by the way you’ve captured Grand Central Station. Perhaps but maybe not, being a new yorker gives me an appreciation of grand central that goes beyond the architecture, it is a “holy” place where magic happens.

Thank you!
