Very interesting work. I am sure your friend and Richard Diebenkorn (currently running at RA) would find a lot to discuss between each other, if the latter was still alive. Colours are, of course, tonally different, but…
what an interesting comparison. thanks for the reference – I haven’t yet seen the Diebenkorn. what is your opinion of the style?
The style of your friend? Tell me what you mean by this, please – but, frankly, I don’t feel confident forming opinion before I see the work live, because paint density, true colours, scale.. everything is important.
you are right, of course, not to form an opinion from an image only, but it is hard not to! are you drawn to the saturated colour? the boldness of the style? i suppose one has an immediate response which will be confirmed or otherwise on further inspection. you talk a lot about response to art on your site, which i love reading, by the way.

I am sorry I can’t reply properly in a tree form as the depth of discussion is probably limited in your settings )
I’d prefer to write my answer in a letter, perhaps, for your eyes only as they say ) Can I have your e-mail address?

Great share J . I’ve followed few links from your post here thank you ! Enjoy your Sunday 🙂
glad to be of service, pt ! 🙂 lovely to hear from you as always. hope you had a wonderful weekend (is it over already??)
Almost ! unless you’re a night owl 😉
Shame I’ve missed this. Fred is certainly a very talented person. Love the colours of this painting, and it reminds me of the Polish countryside, for some reason. Feeling nostalgic.
Best wishes Monx
oh, how great that it’s reminiscent for you. i love how art can do that, and something quite different for each viewer. hope you had a super weekend. always good to hear from you :-). J X
