Artist Statement:
Painting is the way that I
communicate. I try to be as
clear as possible and include
all of the details. In that
way, you can participate in my
adventure by seeing on my
canvas what I see when I close
my eyes.

This is my first time seeing your work when I came across Lovers in Santa Croce while searching for a composition to study for class. I must tell you that I enjoy it to the upmost. It makes me dream in such a manner that I can see myself there. Thank you for your style and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

It was a genuine thrill to see the Poppies 1996. Wish I could view it in person. Even better ~ afford it!

Toktam TAYEFEH
I LIKE THE WAY YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS, I LOVE YOUR ART VERY MUCH.

Sudjoko
Your still lifes (lives?) are contemporary and new even though I have seen plenty of them in art history books. Yet, the painters of centuries ago would surely think they are contemporary, too. I'm afraid, this is what most artists, art theories, art teachings and art movements cannot grapple with. GOOD WORK!

John
Beautifully done.Bravo to your art.From one artist to another i enjoyed your gallery.

daya
Love your work. I am also a member of Abs. Arts.So, is it that you are living in Firenze. How wonderful. Will be visiting this summer with my family.Any suggestoins for local galleries?

Steve Abbott
Hey guy,I like your photo realistic style. Too many people just throw paint onto canvas these days and call it art. Nice to see someone actually take their time. Keep it up. Steve

Roy Astley Fryer
like your style and work!!!!!

Deborah Paige Jackson
Thanks for the inspiration.

Vick
Your blog entry made me laugh. Memories of muddling through art school and starting off in graphic design/illustration. You have found a great balance to work and art, I am also trying to arrange the work-at-night thing because it just makes more sense. Congrats to you for finding the magic balance!

Reena
Your oil paintings are so realistic, its hard to believe!!! Great work!

cheryl
Great work....Matthew Do you draw your subjects out? Do you grid them? I detest precise drawing and prefer a general placement and then go from there...I would be very pleased if you would take a moment to peek at my work and let me know what you think.I have had no formal training....I am not of your high caliber yet but hope to be there someday....thanks so much ...Cheryl Ann Hardy Premiere Portfolio..oil paintings I hope you don't mind I don't how to get a critique from fellow absolute artists
