Thanks for the compliment on my landscapes. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. It doesn't get any more back to basics than finger painting and you have done so well with it so far. I checked out your other web pages and you've done some great brush paintings as well.
I've been doing this for over 13 years man, coming to anderson gave me time to relax and showcase my work in other states, I'm heading back home to NYC now because I have to do alot back there. Then arizona next year, I have one final public exhibit in Noblesville, there having a fund raiser.
JIM!!! Your work and your words about 'turning your tables' evoke deep emotion in me. I love love love your use of color, and it is quite apparent how happ you are to be a full time artist. I bow to you! and aspire to live my dream someday..Thank you for sharing. Best, SAndy
Yes, I definitely love color. Never thought of using black gesso; that's a good tip. Thanks. I have a goal of painting one 6x8 each day. Not quite making it. Somedays it has been a little larger. I'm envious of your Tuscanny trip. I would love to do that as well. I need to sell some of this first.
your new works posted are beautiful.. I am going to Rome next month and your love of Italy has me wishing I was going to be in the country rather than the city!
I am interested in the 'atmosphere I see in your work. Alas, the closest I get to fingers is through the nitrile gloves and oil sticks....I still like to mix the paints on the palette with my brushes, but I always get to a point where I feel the need to touch the canvas, so I can totally relate, dude...
