Bowl & Orange

Still trying to perfect this alternate style of mine.. Hard for me to get away from crispness, but I'm trying hard.. I do like that there is much less time in each painting, and it's a lot less trying to my nerves.. Hope you all like it..:)

... and there's much more of Your personal signature and soul exhibition perhaps, dear Rick!
You are about to reinterpret a classical and materic approach that appeared several times in the art history and never ceases to astonish and be greatly appreaciated!
Superb work!

[Rick]

Thank you Caesar.. Yes, you are right, there is a lot more of me in the last two paintings, than that that is in the sharp flat lined paintings I do.. Thanks again..:)

Gorgeous work Rick. I see a bit of the Cezanne style in this. Love it. :)

[Rick]

Thank you.. Yes, Paul Cezanne indeed.. If I just had an iota of his skills.. Would I not be a fortunate man..;)

[gzairborne]

Well then surely you are. :);):D

Nice choice of subtle colors and arrangement. Very pleasing. Knife is especially well crafted. :)

Looking good, I'm liking the new style, keep at it.

[RobertSWade]

Beautiful. And you're gonna crank out one a day from now on, right? lol
Really tasteful Rick. :)

[D Akey]

Well, I can really appreciate this look. Definitely space exploration.

Your last two still life paintings are amazing. Beautiful. :)

[damasocl]

I agree with Pai:
Two last works are amazing and beautiful!

Rick,

This one is better than the three vases, though both are superlative! What I mean to say is, with this one you´re getting a handle on your "alternative" style and it seems more natural.

Now look what you´ve done--created an expectation of a painting a day. To save yourself time, I´d say go back to your other self, that "crisp, linear, photorealistic" guy that takes two weeks to do one grape. :D Just kidding!!!!

I think this alternative approach, as you call it, is every bit as good as anything you´ve ever done before.
