I can't take my eyes off this painting. I definitively fall into the category of "may not know art but I know what I like," and there's just something about this painting that grabs my attention and makes me stare. The fuzzy paleness of the girls face, the gold dangling precariously from around her ankle, while the toes seem to curve in ecstasy. The way they seem to sit on a precipice of flowers beyond a bleak yet vaguely warm backdrop of brownish gold. You can get some basic information on him here, but I recommend walking into a bargain section of a Barnes & Noble or preferably your local bookstore and seeing if they have the over sized picture books of his work. If anyone would like to share an artist I'd be glad to take a look, i'm always looking for something moving.
