I just saw one of his oak grove drawings at Boston's BFA, breathtaking use of gray wash over black chalk(crayon). The energy of the drawings almost is more interesting than the paintings. Also the liberal use of staffage figure painters hints at the market of these landscapes at the time and the amount of specialization each genre artist focused on.<br /><br />-ErikE.Tiemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352421860026525045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-24963583161121282412011-07-17T12:16:37.350-07:002011-07-17T12:16:37.350-07:00This is fantastic.

I like rhythm and flow of movement in your version better. There is more harmony in the symphony of shapes. You have infused your painting with more energy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-7908979416566780692011-06-22T09:59:30.329-07:002011-06-22T09:59:30.329-07:00love it man!
