Painting is deception. I just think the more respectful we are to the subject in all its parts the better the deception works

Either you deceive or you are faithful. The only gray area is at the top of my palette (neutral grays).
Some things must be exaggerated and others played down for the sake of the overall effect.
Beyond that, I categorically refuse to agree with everyone. If I'm in agreement with what everyone thinks then I know there must be a better answer out there. I am faithful only to my painting (and my wife). Show me a better way and everything I know and do is history.
Grasshopper- you're learning!
Also Ingres was ten times the painter that David was.
