Second one is interesting as it reveals somehting of the approach that you adpot to construct the painting. As always lots to enjoy in these. Really enjoy your favourite artist section and particularly this post. Seago is a favourite of mine and I'm lucky enough to be able to visit a couple of his paintings which are owned by a friend of mine.
Hey Bill. It is so good to be seeing these plein air pieces from you again. I learn something from each one.
I am really enjoying the light in your 2 PAs--very effective--esp the unfinished just before dusk one. I like Seago too and can see the influence, esp. in regard to figure placement in the picture plane. Hadn't heard of him before, so thanks.
Non-sequiter but several weeks ago I got to see 4 Robert Watts paintings at an LPAPA show (inc the show winner)--he has a simplicity and directness of execution that is nice.
You are blessed with such a gift. Your painting style is awesome ... promise you will never change!
I am always thrilled by the simplicity of your compositions and the strong impact you achieve with it.
You once pointed out Edward Seago to me and since then I am also a great admirer of his work.
Hey Mick-- wish I knew your friend! I still have never seen a Seago original.
Bill - It's good to be out regularly again.
V- yeah I really Like Watts, I have two small originals.
Yes, I also love Seago's work. You are a remarkable artist. I am very happy to have found your blog, I will be returning many times.
Studied well the composition of horizontal and vertical, overcoat in the second note.
The setting of the evening with his(her,your) lights and colors, O.K.
Working always against clock.
I always love your view of things! Great use of color! :)
LS-- I'm changing all the time... sorry! ;-)
thank you Stefan-- Check out edward wesson too.
Vicente-- thanks for you visit. looking forward to a update on your great paintings on your blog.
thanks Helen
The Break - looks like you painted the waiter with reckless abandon - that's almost impossible to do when painting a commissioned portrait, but I would love paint the figure like that. I think I'll try it in the near future. Good stuff Mr. Wray!
