For one, I love the background - the distant white house and especially the man in the shade. <br /><br />Personally, though, I don't minde seeing just a little more "of the artist" in a painting, and in that sense I think I disagree a little with the artist's accompanying text. Any subject is filtered through the artist, and my preference, usually, is to see just a little more (sometimes much more) of the artist's hand.Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-15361302057388953962011-07-19T13:14:15.391-04:002011-07-19T13:14:15.391-04:00Fabulous.

I love it when there's a narrative (or in your case, a story) behind a piece of art. After all, that's what art is all about.MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.com
