Fabulous work, M! I'm considering a tetanus shot just looking at them. Great job with your portrayal of rust. I can't wait to see more. :o)
Thanks Jelaine -- you are to funny !!
Amazing sheen on these oil cans.
Wow! Love your paintings. As a struggling painter myself I really appreciate and admire your work. You're amazing. Thanks, Barb
I don't know what to say! This painting is great! Can't wait to see more like it.
Another dandy my good man. How do you keep doing it so well and so consistantly? Great composition and moody light.
Best,
Todd
Okay, I have ONE oil can in my garage...Did you go on a scavenger hunt thru the neighborhood to collect all the cans? I wonder about things like this when I look at a painting. Where did the props come from?
It is truly a well thought out and beautifully painted picture....
Thanks Gail. As far as the oil cans go -- I just like them, so when ever I see an old one for sale I buy it. I am always on the look out for interesting things. You never know when they will come in handy.
There's something humorous about the small, upright can threatened by the imposing chaos of the larger ones...humanizing somehow. And of course its not chaos at all but another of your beautiful designs.
Thanks Don, great observation. When I was composing this painting I felt the little can gave the entire piece a feeling of stability. Without it, the composition would just be a jumble.
Excellent work. Very good job on the rust.
Have Fun,
Jeff
my friend susanne just bought the oil can painting and it is here on my kitchen table and we are slobbering over your technique. i hope she forgets it and leaves it here for me good job. ds
Thanks !! I'm happy she likes it.
I so enjoy your work M. (Michael, Mitchell, Mark, Monty???) Just guessing..:) I found your work on daily painters and have followed you ever since. Your work has such a pristine quality. A untouch and unspoiled look about it. I do love it. I enjoy getting it directly to my email. Keep it up and keep them comin'!! C2
