I have to say that my first and lasting impression of all of your work displayed is 'Wow Picasso without the rigidity of lines and a certain softness of texture'.
Artist Reply: You flatter me, Thomas, but don't think for one minute that I don't appreciate your comment. :) I only wish I had his luck with the ladies! Thanks.
always love to explore such images within an image within an image.... they are telling so many stories, every time I view, I can discover something well known and something new :))
Wow, you could teach passage using this drawing! I really like the process of discovery when I follow the lines of all the conjoined elements. There seems to be the continuum of hunger and feeding depicted here which instead of feeling good feels mournful ... Good work, Charles! ~M (P.S. I think it's more rewarding when one 'feels' this drawing rather than interprets it.)
Artist Reply: I consider my work emotive, Monika, so maybe I'm on the right track. Thanks for the insightful comment; it gave me goosebumps of the most delicious variety. :)
Artist Reply: The original looks better, Jerry. I wasn't 100% happy with the quality of the scan. Thanks for the comment. I like them being seen rather than going directly to portfolio. ;)
