Found it! I saw this DailyDev'd a while ago, but I forgot to fave it. I think this is wonderful work! So wonderful, that I was one of the many who mistook it for a photograph And you painted this with oils?! That's a tricky medium, methinks! I'm no good at it.

Wonderful work!

I've always enjoyed superrealism, and this is just great.. My grandma would make pies just like that.

Thankyou...subconsciously I suppose I always had a fascination with superrealism...maybe that was the trigger for me!

I'd be sufficiently impressed if this painting was done on larger paper. But that you fit such lovely details so precisely at the scale that you did, that's amazing. Bravo!

I love that the background looks like it was painted and the woman looks very realistic like she was taken out of a photo. VERY awesome, I love this.

mollygrue [2007-09-28 19:11:07 +0000 UTC]

I think that, contrary to work that I've seen from other photorealists, you are deeply sensitive to your subjects. You show this also in what subjects you become determined to show.

I like this old lady very much. I like that she is understated, yet taking so much pride in one of her actions. And I like that you found that to be worth something.

artstruggle In reply to mollygrue [2007-09-28 23:15:42 +0000 UTC]

without trashing other photorealists, sometimes their work gets a slick airbrushed look to it which I avoid. Each painting is done in many layers of wash...that could be the answer.
