This appeared with anecdotal appendage at the PDofA (Reston,VA) and we "ohhhhhhed" and "ahhhhhhed."<br />A gallery in Newport had a "fake and forgeries" show once a year where painters copy maters as i had done with an earlier painting of yours, a black man's portrait. You used a dark background and I changed it to white for more contrast and controversy.<br />Such good work.<br />Copying proves one can apply techniques but one's individual style seeps through--unless the motivation is for the wrong reasons.<br />Peace,<br />Len<br />Len De Angelishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470518180578282735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-8548352202822415362014-04-27T09:46:33.815-04:002014-04-27T09:46:33.815-04:00What a fun surprise to learn that you had painted ...What a fun surprise to learn that you had painted it during boring afternoon light!

What i like most about your posts is that they are impressive but not overwhelming.You make them look as if anyone could master this task also, if he/she is determined enough. Thanks.<br /><br />Just one question:<br />I am planning to buy a tripod like yours. Is there any post that describes how build the platform above?

Nice demo of virtuosity, shows how if you know what you're doing you can fabricate even something as nebulous and delicate as lighting. Maybe in future "Grinnell Light" will become the accepted term for all false-colour plein air work ;)<br /><br />leekilonson post seems to be SPAM- remove?runningheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058570753531696917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-46633887906127584262014-04-23T00:32:07.401-04:002014-04-23T00:32:07.401-04:00This reminds me of George Ault's series of eer...This reminds me of George Ault's series of eerie light paintings, especially "Bright Light at Russell's Corners".
