Shock!
I think I am under a quite shock from your paintings, Sharon -- maybe the first time on this site. Contrary to the Bruce Cegur's painting, who for me has a lot of energy and vision but lacks some aesthetic control over his work, your paintings have something surreal. Of course talking about it has no sense, they talk for themselves.
Concerning the idea of "smilysm" which spreads through the contemporary commercial portraiture, I absolutely agree with you. Personally it makes me vomit. Sorry for the rather hard expression. Your painting for me has something healthful and refreshing -- erotic but not vulgar. Strange and mysterious but just the right proportion. Maybe a slight "Deco" influence of Tamara Lempick. I think it must be linked with your personality.
I saw the 7' pastel, but without the closeups hard to talk about it. Personally just about to finish a 99" (8') high drawing portrait which you can see in the drawing section of this forum. It is the most comprehensible and clear work I did in my life from the point of view of what I want to say about the world. I wonder where your inspiration comes from? Nature? Your surroundings, the people you communicate with?
Best regards, hope keep in touch,
Sergio
