Thanks for posting something other than half-baked (or fully baked, in one sense) political analysis. Looks like a good show!

i've walked by that show a dozen times and those watercolors have made me stop, or at least caused a lingering glance from me each time. like a rothko, the way the color vibrates in your eye is best experienced in person.

Wow.
I'm pretty damn sure that I have been cutting that guy's hair, for a while now. Genius at my fingertips?

before the advent of design-by-computering, students learned to mix watercolor and paint like this. Most of us received passing grades. It took time, practice, and patience...where did those three things go?

boxofbirds, did you see the John James Audabon exhibit at MOHAI? Amazing stuff, very in tune with comment 5.

These are indeed arresting -- I can't reconcile how I feel about the fingerprints, though. Are they a window into the humanity of the art(ist), or laziness?

Laziness? Go see it in person, stare half in awe, half in stupified and stumped calculation of just how long this painting probably took to make and then re-evaluate you comment. In all non-snarky seriousness, it and some of his others should really be seen in the flesh.
