Fine Art Oil Painting: The Parents


Coming across an old Picasso book, I had forgotten how much I love his work - the cubist style being my favorite. Thus, I have started some paintings in the cubist style. My first work is "The Parents" in various shades of green. I love the deep three dimensional feeling and dramatic use of shadow that cubism evokes. Keeping with the an expressionism, cubism allows for abstraction but still gives the viewer a frame of reference.

Laura~ I miss the St. Paul's days all the time. Times were so simple back then weren't they? Thanks to Facebook I have reconnected with many of my old friends from St. Paul's. As for the present ... love your artwork. I will give you a shout out on FB soon.

Fondly,
Cren

that is a good one. You are a multi talented and should be exposed in front of the community. You have enough chance to join with art specific groups and sell your work for great money.

I love this, it's absolutely great! I'm also a big fan of cubism, and this work really implements the style. :)

you're such a talented artist and you should open your own gallery and show your works to be appreciated. i'd buy a piece or two of your paintings. :)

I don't know what is a cubist style and other art style, I only knew that you have an amazing work of art.. Very great painting! That is one that I would love to place in my room's wall.. I like the theme as well, "the parents" ... I am very close to my parents so I am more connected to them.. Good job! Keep it up..
