The color saturation and vividness of your art is very attention grabbing. The juxtaposition of the trees to the red heads with the lonely figure in between, the swirls and loose brushstrokes impart energy, and Einstein's head seems to be hung gently in the cosmos. The only real jarring note is the cartoon-like outlining of the buildings do not really seem to match the rest of the painting. Overall, very well done!
ReplyDeleteThe top piece really caught my attention. What i love the most is the swirls that create the water in the wash, ti keeps my eyes trapped there. The energy an emotions displayed in the brush stroke is a very attractive part of this panting. I feel like this is the kind of painting one can stand and look at for a while. All your pieces are attractive to the eye and brings in the viewers. They also express emotion very well.
