Computer Screen Can't Do Justice

Brandon, nice work. I like the paintings, particularly Not PB.

I wonder how large the actual paintings are?

The disappointing thing about this type of post is that, to me, so much is lost in "displaying" your artwork on a web site, especially something like an oil painting. I’d guess that it really takes away from the paintings. I’m no art buff, but having stumbled into a few museums now and then, I’ve always been amazed at how different a painting can look (and feel?) when you see it in person. The Mona Lisa, for example, is a pittily little painting and that’s rarely captured in an internet gallery or an art book.

What does Robin Williams (Sean) say to Matt Damon (Will) in Good Will Hunting when he’s demonstrating Will’s lack of first hand experience outside Boston?

So if I asked you about art you could give me the skinny on every art book ever written…Michelangelo? You know a lot about him I bet. Life’s work, criticisms, political aspirations. But you couldn’t tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You’ve never stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling.

I guess I’m saying I can’t see the texture so well or smell you’re dirty underwear lying under the paintings in your bedroom, Brandon. And that’s a shame. (Well….you get my gist.) Still, I like the paintings and appreciate the post.
