Thanks, Joe. That's a cool picture. A bit more free-form than Sarget's
usual stiff & formal style.

Some of these aren't big enough to get a good sense of what the picture
is really like, but you can get the idea.

I do not care for any of the Hooper pictures, to Folk artist like. All
except the lighthouse show major flaws, the swells do not look right in
the first picture, and the boats do not look real in the others IMO.

Edward Hopper is one of those oddball painters. I don't like most of his
paintings, yet there are a few in there. And a couple of his paintings
show mastery of the art, and caused me to go back and take a fresh look
at some of his dumber looking sailboat paintings.

Should a painting neessarily look real? If so, then why bother to paint
a picture when you can take one with a camera?

No, but clearly he was trying to make it look real and failed. It not
impressionist work, it's failed rendering IMO.

That's pretty impressive, you can tell what the guy was thinking just
from looking at the painting?

Hopper isn't one of my favorites, but after seeing some of his paintings
which are definitely master works, I went back & looked at his sailboat
paintings again. Still worth a look, IMHO, and obviously a lot of people
(not necessarily sailors) like them.

One of his better oils IMO.

All his nautical paintings are the best of his work. He worked hard
doing portraits all his life, he did marine and natural scenes on his
off time, because that is what he wanted to paint. His later
watercolors (cant find many on the web) are some of the most brilliant
simple harbor marine painting ever painted. He is noted for doing so
much with so little. Im sure 100's of his WC's are still un-discovered.

I like the wooden figureheads with big tits.

How's Ms Terry doing?
