Realism! My eternal enemy, my nemesis, my foe! You're going down!

Er, I mean, nice stuff -- if you like dreamy pictures of seminude people
and pictures of Norman-Rockwell-like mother and child portraits. And
who doesn't like that?

(I don't like that. But I'm a tiny minority.)

I don't get the reference to Norman Rockwell.

But this web site makes me wish I'd spent more
of my time painting people. I love this guy's
technique, ubiquitous as it may be.

And I wish I could wake up just ONCE in that
Morning Breeze setting!!!!!!! Aside from that
one image on his opening page, I saw very little
semi-nudity in his gallery.

I am a nostalgic I guess. I love those romanticist
works of the late 19th century, early 20th. Always
makes me wish I could find those idyllic places
where everyone dresses in gauzy summer clothes
with no need for worry of temperatures ever requiring
more coverage. Where I live I still freeze at night
and early mornings and can only wear less during
the mid-afternoon - and we're nearly a week into
what is supposed to be idyllic spring weather.

And another thing - no shorts and halter tops!
Gauzy, billowy dresses ONLY please...

Especially yours.

Leads me to believe that this artzy fartzy twit has never looked at a
Vermeer. He is however somewhat closer than Mondrian.

Shows he's never looked at a Bouguereau either. However this is par
for someone who can't draw and doesn't know his craft and never looks
at much more then the Modern Academic sections of museums.

It's not that bad.
Nothing breath-taking, but...

Actually it's quite good,
if you compare it with most of "art" junk around.

Some pictures, I would say, are a trifle too colourful (too many bright
colours).
But brush stroke technique is nice;
in some of them focal point is well set;
and light is nice too
(even though it's incomparable with Vermeer [even with lobotomy]).

Why so harsh?

I thought that you disapprove only those who have NO skills at all and
can NOT paint.
Definitely Pino can paint, he has a sensitive eye, nice touch of light
rendering,
and he is very bold with colours.

He just does not paint the way you'd accept as perfect.

I am. But not always and not for this forum.
Sorry.
My work might be just invisible.
