I like how it seems like a sketch of impressions you might get from real things at the park, the echoes of the real. I don't think I am so keen as I am on your more crafted pieces; though I find its energy interesting - like a still life of things that are moving. Does that even make sense? It seems like a tableau, frozen.

Makes perfect sense to me. And thank you again. Insightful as usual. When a painting isn't going how I'd like it to, I don't tend to polish them up as much.

This feels to me very much like some sort of Blade Runner-type underground backstreet. Except more dreamlike.
Can I ride your scooter-thing?

Nice color choices and I still cannot get over how well your loosen up works turn out. When I first saw the thumbnail I thought that guy was riding a safety pin!

Thanks Boz. I've been playing around with b&w acrylic under paintings, and then coloring them in oil. It's been fascinating me how fast something can be built up like that. My painting "The Hollow" was also done like that, but I took much more time on it. It's a technique that lets me work as fast or slow as I want. Have you ever tried it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, I haven't tried it. I haven't even tried acrylic painting. But I understand the process. It is somewhat similliar when I do a b/w drawing and then color it in photoshop.

I guess it would be similar, but messier. Hahahahaha But I've been having fun with it.

Kickin' colors. I feel like I'm watching a really artsy television. I'd like to have on of those things that the guy is riding.

Ohhhhhhhh.....Why didn't you say so. The answer is still no.

Hey! It's for show. (haven't we been here before?)

The subject has an interesting dichotomy -- outdoor activities depicted inside. It's like just thinking, "Yeah, I need to exercise and get out more."
I've always liked your monochomatics. Well done.

Thanks Ray. It kept me busy for a night. And yes, I could use the exercise.

Well, whatever it takes to keep you off the streets...

excellent composition and a great color scheme too.

pretty cool I like the loose work. I think the loose brush strokes are more expressive.

Thank you. I like doing them. Quite relaxing.

Very strange... in a good way. Are you loosening up to work on some new stuff?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. I try to loosen up after doing really tight pictures. If I don't, I develop a bad feeling toward painting. So when I do a picture like this one, it helps get that feeling out of my system. But yeah, it's also so I can continue to work on new things.

I can see where that would be necessary. I'm working on a colored pencil piece right now that may require some loosening up. It's quite tedious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can imagine, I love to see good colored pencil work. Although, I don't have the patience to work with them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm afraid I won't have patience for painting. I'd like to try again though.

Same here with colored pencils. I think I'd like to try them on some colored paper for a change. What do you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure! I've seen pieces done on black paper. Very cool results.
