Dean, I love your paintings! You have wonderful movement in this painting. The addition of scripture is very nice. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous and fun painting, Dean! I love this!
ReplyDeleteAgain, your incredible loose and painterly style is so beautiful Dean. Love the way you work.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful painting all in motion. I like this with a very nice light.
ReplyDeleteI play golf and i can find in your painting the same light i see when i'm on the round of golf.
Best regards.
Lovely. I especially like the shadows and light in the pants, very well done. I see that you mention your paintings are done on "hard board" - I am curious as to what exactly that is? Is it like gessoed mason board? Matting boards? I would love to know as I am always looking for new ideas. Sure have been enjoying your work!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Dean! I really like how you've captured the gesture and balance of the figure so well - and with so few strokes. Masterful...

Hey Dean, The golf swing is very specific and a golfer can spot if the artist has fudged and the weight is on the wrong side, or the club face is in the wrong place. Believe me when I tell you that the golf swing is depicted wrong in art more often than it is depicted right. This painting, however, is 100% perfect. He's a good golfer and he probably made par.
ReplyDeleteHi Dean, nice atmosphere of a sporting day! I also admire your previous post of rocks as I have been battling with large boulders in the same week(the post is not final). Dean, it was a thrill for me to stumble upon the very kind remarks you made about me on Liz's blog. One feels wonderfully secure in the bloggosphere if friends are like that!
ReplyDeleteHi, Julia...the hardboards that I use are 1/8 inch ready-to-paint, tempered hardboard panels that are factory-coated with gesso. They are super hard...must be a type of masonite. I get them from Dick Blick. Very reasonably priced. Just go to Blick and enter "Gessoed Hardboard Panels" in the Search.
ReplyDeleteI really like them!
Beautifully done. Love the greens, but like Julia, I thing you did a great job with the pants.
ReplyDeletereally nice Dean.
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did with the Sedona piece. That is great country and has so much potential for an artist. So many people have moved into the area though that it takes a lot of artistic lisence to paint out the modern houses. Would be hard for John Ford to do a Cowboy movie nowadays.
Dean, Love this painting. You have such a variety of work and all good.
ReplyDeleteYou really captured the gesture of this golfer...love the strokes in the pants.
ReplyDeleteLove the painting, love the scripture. The scripture reminds me of Tiger Woods.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Dean. You did such a great job simplifying the scene. Well done.
