delete reply perfectlyhuman wrote on Jul 7, '09 I enjoyed this. Especially Jonathan Hood, Alaxander Muir and especially Maggie Milne . I like her nude. I like the way she dissected the image with line and color but never lost the beauty if the image. I did something like that once as an experiment only my subject was a stallion. I used color pencil, ink, watercolor pencil and watercolor.

delete reply veryfrank wrote on Jul 7, '09 Nice, thank you. I especially like the Robert Jackson work. If there is such a thing as 'Art Noir' a la 'Film Noir' from the 40' and 50's, he would be doing Art Noir. I also like the work by Alexander Muir - anything at the beach will get my attention, in any style.
