An artist and his puppet

[Piety Choi]

Hi, Kim!

Thank you for your warm words!

[Alexandra Tyng]

Piety,

I've come back several times to look at this stunningly original, fascinating portrait. It is more than a portrait. You suggest a story and a relationship beyond the likeness, so in that way it could be thought of as figurative, but it is also more than a figurative work. I agree that you should not remove the round object in the background. You have integrated the background beautifully with the man and his puppet.

I would love to see the work in person sometime. I am in Narberth so we live near each other.

Hi, Alex! Welcome to be a new member of the Forum. We might be passed by each other at the grocery store sometimes!! But I have moved out to Drexel Hill few months ago. Still It's not that far from Narberth. I think we can meet together and see the art works in person someday. Or I can invite you when I have an exhibition.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and encouragement.

Hi Piety,

This is a wonderful painting! I love it. No wonder we all are returning to see it again. I love the original and interesting cropping and composition. I would also like to see this in person.

Maybe we can all cross paths at Trader Joe's in Ardmore. I also have been to the
Drexeline !

Ha, ha... I've got all the members in Philly area?

It's really good to hear that great artists are returning to look at my painting again. Thanks, Garth.

I really like to crop like this.

I have another one that has strange crop and different style. It's not realistic, or not traditional. Maybe it's little bit of Post-Impressionistic. I don't know It is good to be posted here. May I try to post it?

Piety,
I would like to join the club.

I am also returning to enjoy this painting again and again. I like everything about it painterly and the story in it is charming too.

Best, Allan

Allan, thank you so much for joining the club.

All the warm words and critiques from the other artists make me released and open my eyes more.

Thanks,
Piety

I really like the artist-to-artwork intimacy in this painting, Piety, and I'm not at all surprised that so many artists are responding so favorably. Thanks for posting it here.

[Alexandra Tyng]

Piety, I took another peek at your painting this morning and I am so glad to see the favorable comments from some of the artists whose work I respect so much. I would love to see more of your work, if you feel like posting it.

Linda, thank you so much for your lovely response.

Kim, and Alex, thank you for returning. I've checked Alex's paintings. You have wonderful loose brush works in your paintings that I wanted to learn.
