There's more tension, of course, around that central bit, but it's not just that -- it's that the more lyrical parts surrounding are somehow completely engaged. The black and white aren't hurting either. That is, the black and white truly act as color here.<br /><br />I think I could bear to live with this painting . . .Nomi Lubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662026175506202868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367130508394867206.post-24179812150125288792010-02-26T14:43:11.725+11:002010-02-26T14:43:11.725+11:00Nomi, you probably don't drop by often coz I&#...Nomi, you probably don't drop by often coz I'm a slack arse at posting....so I understand.

So Merry Christmas, Sophie.

The exhibition "rubbernecking" is very appealing for that intense painterly manner of his and the lush surfaces and interesting compositions.<br />You always find artists with a wonderful relationship with the paint itself.<br />I love this... its pulls me back into my body... out of my head. I feel better after a visit with undercover painter!<br />Keep coming with the inspiration- its a gift!<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.com
