In general your work is "good academic painting"...you're playing the "chromatic scale" in the paint over and over. Now you must strive to change the tempo, and invent unique chords that set you appart from others who paint just like you. Take a look at this artist...he is beginning to achieve this ideal in his work...some of his brushwork is clumsy, however the work overall enters a realm beyond "good academics," which is a world independent of subject matter. It's in the movement and mark of the paint itself...the way in which it looks on the surface. --http://shiftinglight.com/daily/still_life/
Don't look at Daniel Sprick...he is merely a "commercial illustrator." Your work is not as tailored looking...and looking tailored is what seperates realism being made today, opposed to pre-19th century. Paint must have gravitas. This is my critque of Tom's work, too.
Dustin, This is my favorite! I love the contrasts in this one. The contrast in color, but heaviness and darkness of the background accentuates the lightness, beauty and delicacy of the flower. Exquisite!!!
I looked at that shiftlight painter, wasn't impressed. The portraits are freightning and the fruit is kind of boring. It shows how subjective it is. Sounds like "Anonymous" doesn't do much painting.
Dustin....off with my hat. Unspeakably beautiful. I hope you don't mind that I featured you on Daily Painting Watcher on Squidoo. Go see if you like. http://www.squidoo.com/daily-painter-Jan-Dale
