It would be wonderful to see an extreme closeup of the heads. Lovely painting!

Tony,

Beautiful color. I think that is my favorite part of this lovely and well designed painting.

This painting will be at the First Annual International Guild of Realism Exhibition at the Pan American Gallery in Dallas, Texas. The show runs from March 11th to April 23rd.

Tony,

This is a wonderfully inviting painting, and so satisfying in every nook and corner to savor. I love it's painterliness, and agree with all the above praise from everyone else. Please give us some details to fill our appetites. We are hungry for closeups.

Your talent is awesome. I just enjoyed your website, and noticed everyone in your family is extraordinarily talented too. Not a surprise!

Your movie trailer is fantastic. Is that actually circulating in theatres?

Congratulations!

Garth

Thanks for the kind words. I am getting some photography lighting equipment this week so I will get some good closeups to post.

I wish they would circulate that trailer in theaters.... not enough sex in it though!!! ;-)

First, your name fits you well. This work resounds with professionalism. I see you have a well developed sense of composition. I also see some educated, practiced brush-handling. Your work would fit in in Santa Fe and Scottsdale.

The couple of remarks I have are possibly a result of the jpeg quality only but here's what I see on my PC. I wonder about values. To be specific-the darks in th distance should not be as dark as those up close. I think you might have seen a bit of warm color bounced up into the roof/porch. Additionally, there might well have been some form indicated even in the darkest parts of the dark robe in the fore as this work is outside essentially and light must bounce about. Wilson Hurley lectured me on this not too long ago.

I really do like the work and I'm reminded of Mian Situ and Ron Ricks, the CAA. I think I have his name right.

Tony, did you post that old man that's on your website? It's really very good.

Thanks so much from your compliments.

Painting is my passion and the quest to seek professionalism is my goal.

Best
Tony
