"The Old Seaman"

[Jeanine Jackson]

Brief Fechin Biography

This is such an inspiring painting, I had to research the artist who inspired you [link above]. My teacher, George Passantino, has mentioned Fechin in class, yet his name remained in my marginal notes... until now!

I believe this painting is more refined and less "nervous" than Fechins'. A wonderful example of personalization... I particularly admire the way you bravely combined two application techniques on one canvas.

Thank you for sharing.
