Quote: Hi Roger and Luis Miguel, I just came in here to look at Mrs. Ruth Daponte again on page 3, and then I saw Sir John Dunn here. I remember you posted another Dali portrait last year of a young woman looking out a window, he really does portray a "feel" for the people, a "same room" feeling, as I just posted in Roger's other forum, portrait art is much more human than photography. Dali has a reach-out-and-touch way of painting people, timeless, as if they're right in front of us always.

I quite agree Kathleen.
You can almost tell that he is a friend of Sir John.

Sara,
This is so very beautiful.
I think that both of us have experimented with oriental art?
This has such a wonderful timeless quality and conveys that understanding of nature akin to Native American spirituality.
This is a wonderful mountain picture and is just perfect as a contrast to the colourful examples in previous posts.
Thank you.
I just found this stunning painting on Etsy by Linda Schierkolk of the upper peninsula of Michigan, she's disabled, and that makes her paintings all the more valuable, I think.
size 16 x 20 inches on canvas with acrylic paint:
MOUNTAIN GLORY
Kathleen,
Very good. The mountain looks very cold and solid. This is very good. My only critisism (not of the execution of the painting) is that it is difficult to get scale. As there are no trees or measurable objects it is hard. If there are none then that's how it is but artists can cheat where photographers can't.
The colours are lovely.
