I really enjoy the gritty feel in your work! These two China Town paintings are quite different from one another but both are equally beautiful.
I might be able to swing by the gallery to see the show. I would love to see several paintings of yours in person!
Congrats on the shows, Bill! Great paint handling on both artworks. Ya just keep gettin' better & better.
Great moodiness. I agree with a gritty feel.
Excellent both. Lustre is the word that comes to mind.. and is achieved differently in each work. Amazing when you have color and value working for you.
re: "Group shows, I'm in Group shows" ...Is this sung to the tune of "Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones"?
'Behind Chinatown' reminds me of being backstage at a theme park. Such a pleasantly unexpected point of view!
PS... 'Lucky Doughnuts' just kicked by butt around the block. It's my new desktop background.
That 'Behind Chinatown' is fantastic. The muted color palette is really working, and I love how you used the grays to make the color on the roof stand out.
"Behind Chinatown" is a stunner. My favorite paintings of yours are the ones where the brushwork is simple, it really shows how easily you're able to express a scene.
Both are wonderful works.
thanks Vander hope to see you at either one.
Thanks Dean, back at ya!
William Wray is SO cool . . . you are so COOL!
Very cool! I don't know why but somehow "Alone in Chinatown reminds me of Hopper, although it really doesn't look like a hopper (better)...maybe it's because of Hopper's painting "Sunday" or just because of the subject matter (lonely person sitting somewhere)...
Love the glow in Alone in Chinatown...beautiful, beautiful light...and wonderful glimpses of color...just fantastic.
Great write up in the Artist mag too!
thanks John! Grit is my fate.
Wk-- I'll take Lustre. Sounds like a contempoary soap store.
Thaks Sherm is a nice ass to kick!
Pumml- this had way more color at first, but I killed it all for the effect you mentioned.
Ambera-- this was a broken up loser untill I re- paitned it. Sometimes you can salave and old painting.
that 'alone in chinatown' is a sweet piece. i love the geometry and colors
wow, congratulations...love love your work!!
