hello and thank you for your comments.  yes, hopper is a painter whose work i've admired for a long time. it's good to see that you also keep up with your own work--as an art teacher.  it helps us stay connected to what the students are experiencing.   Nice work with the colored pencils!  It is a great medium to work in.

Kevin,  Thanks for your comment regarding my use of color.  I feel very flattered that having come from an art teacher.  I checked out your gallery; I love the simplicity of some of your drawings.  I especially like the sunflower (I'm painting a 30 x 40 field of sunflowers).  Having been raised in Kansas, I'm especially fond of sunflowers.  Again, thanks for your comments.  Jerry

Hey Kevin,Thanks for your kind words on my work.  I really appreciate them.  Your work is awesome!  To reinforce colored pencil being taken as a serious art medium you shoulc check out some of Bill Nelson's work...he's an illustrator.  Have a good one. -Steven

Kevin,  Your work is amazing.  So lifelike.  I wish I would have had you as an art teacher when I was in school.  I thank you for giving back to the kids and I know you will touch them with your talent.  Keep posting your work - I want to see more!

Thank you for liking " Uncle Bill's Hat" I will be adding more paintings but right now I am in Florida taking care of my brother who just had his shoulder replaced, he is alone so needed me. But hopefully soon I will have some time.

I Love you portraits.

Keep painting, Alston
