A FORUM OF DISCUSSION, CRITIQUE AND SHARING WITH CANADIAN ARTIST BRIAN SIMONS. THE ARTIST'S WORK CAN BE SEEN AT HIS OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://www.briansimons.com
This one done this afternoon 24x48"oil/canvas. Wanted to work in a narrower value range and try to capture a bit of the mood on this grey aftenoon....Suggestions welcome. Brian
Man! are you on a roll or what. What ever your doing don't stop. This is just beautiful. Good going Brian. Of course I know you are not painting by yourself.
Beautifully executed Brian though, for me, it lacks some of the "surprise" that you so often give. Since there's a narrower value range, maybe the surprise would be in shape, composition, temperature, texture, etc, but I'm not feeling it. It's lovely, but not as interesting or engaging to me as a lot of your other work.
Thanks for your comments Ralph and Elliot. Elliot, I know, its a bit dead isn't it, but I'm trying lots of different things and pushing the envelope a bit. Thanks, Brian
