I really like those.

I paint in a fairly similar style.

Here's one I finished recently. A portrait of my wife, Michelle. It's the first piece I've completed in about 10 years...charcoal pencil, ink, gouache, and watercolor on pre-soaked (in tea) synthetic paper.

Oh my, you're very good Frank, I'm impressed! By this portrait, Michelle is very beautiful.

Yeah, she said it doesn't really look like her because it's "too pretty." But she's beautiful, and that does look like her.

At the De Young Museum in San Francisco today. The show we came to see, the Open, contains close to a 1,000 pieces across a number of media. A bit overwhelming but a good chance to practice focusing just on what really draws you. These made the cut:

The cloth is so gorgeous, it's hard to stop staring at it. I feel like I can almost touch it.

Anything goes as art? I was thinking about good acts or initiatives in human life, that have far-reaching effects. The image that came to mind can be expressed this way. Is the principle itself "art"? Some would say no. But, this very brief vid is beautiful, to me...

The video worked for me. It's an expression of "Far Reaching"...so it's Art
