Thomasin, thanks for your feedback. It's a real boost.
Carlos, you are right - there is a wonderful warm quality about sanguine that always informs the subject matter. And I love the associations with the drawings of past masters that - for myself anyway - this unique medium inevitably conjures, even with a less-than-perfect attempt such as this. There just seems to be built-in art historical references with the medium itself.
Linda, thanks! I love this photo. And you are absolutely right. It does seem to speak to our commonalities which run far deeper and are more profound that any observed cultural differences.
Richard, thank you. I do feel like whatever "technique" I have is pretty straightforward - there is way more about this medium that I don't know!
Garth. As always, it's a treat to get your feedback. Thank you very much.
David
