I clicked this link and this soft, lovely painting came up, filled with light and sensitivity. And I thought, "Ah. There's Joe." <BR/> <BR/>I've commented before that while all your work holds an undeniable and exquisite technical expertise, I often wonder where Joe is in painting. <BR/> <BR/>What matters to you? What are you passionate about? How do I, the viewer connect to you, the artist in your work? This piece resonates with depth and meaning and love. The austere backdrop creates an amazing contrast to the gentle beauty of the girl's face. There is a shy courage and strength in her eyes and a hint of the woman she'll someday become. This, I thought, is important to him. And because your heart is so obviously revealed in this rendering, it becomes a window to the artist's soul where common ground is found and the tenuous connection between artist and patron is deepened: the hallmark of great works throughout the ages. <BR/><BR/>Encore, my friend.

There is a LOT of emotion and sensitivity in that painting that is very touching. I don't know how better to describe it. Your brush strokes even look different. Whatever it is, THAT'S what you want to evoke in a painting, I feel. I want to achieve that with my work and get the viewer to actually "feel" something (besides anger) when they look at the piece. I love it!<BR/><BR/>CamachoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266982428923437035.post-3143186968362185242007-07-09T11:02:00.000-05:002007-07-09T11:02:00.000-05:00Wow!
