I like the looser paintings that leave a little to the viewer's imagination. Manet over Bougereau.<BR/>It is hard to be able to stop sometimes though.<BR/><BR/>I like you paintings.<BR/>They have a good painterly feel to them.Frank Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20786530.post-35392675052532122192008-04-16T06:02:00.000-07:002008-04-16T06:02:00.000-07:00Love your blog, and totally agree with your though...Love your blog, and totally agree with your thoughts on 'finish'. I was watching a painting video the other day by a well knows artist (who I will not name) and I was entranced until I thought he should be finished - but he continued on and on until it looked like - well, a million other overworked paintings! Just goes to show you we all have different ideas when it comes to the 'end' of a painting!Kelley Carey MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667693715096070393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20786530.post-89327165346585684232008-04-15T16:55:00.000-07:002008-04-15T16:55:00.000-07:00Jason, I have to agree.

Although there are thoughts dancing around in my head to one day attempt a large scale figurative piece like Bouguereau (emphasis on attempt). The skin tones he achieved were just amazing... smooth as butter.Justin Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747716186407322024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20786530.post-25862829368379724842008-04-14T14:46:00.000-07:002008-04-14T14:46:00.000-07:00I think over the last few months that you've been ...I think over the last few months that you've been moving closer to Manet than to Bouguereau (both of who I like very much), and I like very much the mark that has left on your art.Jason Waskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980929709727586080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20786530.post-45060686186690625682008-04-14T06:02:00.000-07:002008-04-14T06:02:00.000-07:00The ever inspirational Darren Rowse over at Problo...The ever inspirational Darren Rowse over at Problogger has declared today April 14th Blogger Appreciation day - and asked readers to email another blogger to let them know that they appreciate something about them, so let’s spend today doing a few random acts of kindness and encouragement for our fellow bloggers.<BR/><BR/>Here’s afew bloggers who make our world at Nantucket Art a little brighter..<BR/><BR/>http://www.justinspaintings.com/ <BR/><BR/>http://artblog.net/<BR/><BR/>http://themoonfellonme.com/<BR/><BR/>http://mahonabouttown.wordpress.com/2008/04/<BR/><BR/>Please take the time to think about a blog you like and send some love their way..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20786530.post-75688387568841172422008-04-11T08:12:00.000-07:002008-04-11T08:12:00.000-07:00I look forward to seeing your painting each day an...I look forward to seeing your painting each day and the more impressionistic, or at least not overworked look most of them have, is what appeals to me.
