Mike, you have been scoring home runs with the latest pieces. I have always admired your work, but the latest pieces have such a great light quality to them. Keep it up, I'm sure these will sell fast!
justin- thanks man. i appreciate the kind comments! funny what slowing down and concentrating can do for your work. i'm not as scattered running from here to there. frenetic would be a good word for it. now i slow down do some sketches and get the bugs worked out on paper before tackling the painting. you dont seem to struggle as much with problems that pop up and you regain the time you lost on the sketching. then when i get it out of the field i look at it awhile and make corrections in the shapes (values, temperatures etc) so that everything reads right. its making a difference. i'm not cranking em out like i was but i hope the work is better because of it. thanks for noticing.
