RE: Sometimes, AngryMan Still Picks up a Brush and Paints
an old MUG from the streets of New York City who ran around with mobsters and hooligans of every description, causing chaos
Some reason I am thinking finding forester :)
I like the painting, the hand feels a bit long fingered but you did run with the mob so that could be it, honestly though I wish I could paint. Drew a bit and broke the pen and almost burnt the hosue down. Ok not burnt down but the paper sure got a good rogering.
Overall it is a nice homey painting and your colours lend to the old photograph maybe film prints and the greens to the light conditions. realistic tones. Nice !tipuvote 0.2
Thanks for commenting @smokingfit .
Spoken/penned like a true Art Critique 'r :~) Yes, I have to agree with the 'longish' fingers thing...Unfortunately I didn't notice that oddity early enough in the process to 'easily' make a correction.
If you look closely..you might notice that the problem was worse - which I managed to slightly improve, but that made for a problem 'matching' the flesh color on the hand and arm.
One day, I might make the time consuming effort to correct the perspective, but it would involve a lot of blocking out, re-painting the arm, hand and fingers...Thennnnnn...trying to match all the surrounding colors or re-color almost everything.
I've been told that I have big hands, but I think those people mean, 'thick' hands from all the manual labor and weightlifting I've done for many years; my fingers are definitely 'not' long...
In 3d the one guy once said the problem with photo realism that many have is that it is too perfect. I think the painting as it is now has just the right amount of blemishes and faults. It just works the big hands and tiny baby forever to be held by it metaphorically speaking.

:>) .... Well, you may be right my friend. It's been said that, "A flaw stays longer in the mind, than blind perfection"
