Thank you as always for your comments!Aline Ordmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153863043264793545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999780374958335138.post-54804051917684738962017-02-21T19:44:29.474-08:002017-02-21T19:44:29.474-08:00Aline, I think this is a fantastic painting! I am ...Aline, I think this is a fantastic painting! I am shocked, however, that IAPS did not honor you sooner. That may be why it was "unexpected"--IAPS noticed you weren't among the 'Masters' when you should have been there a long time ago. It IS a great honor & one you richly deserve! Like others, I love the glasses in this painting. Expertly rendered w/ a few strokes, they also serve as 'perspective.' They are large, the bartender is smaller. This pushes him back & brings the glasses forward. It's just this sort of attention to detail that keeps you earning the Big Bucks, Aline. I'm knocked out by how few strokes you've used in the entire painting. That's trust. I always overwork things: "no one will know it's a bottle unless I outline it in black & put every bit of detail possible in it..." I don't trust my 'viewer.'(Whoever that is.) I'm so happy you're getting this award, Aline, & I hope this piece wins an award in the competition. I think it should!
