I would be interested in some more critical views on the Maori painting... Feedback always helps... Karl,

Even though I make no effort to connect the two, it is funny that you make that connection. I am glad you liked the poise in the paintings. Like you, personally I liked the Maori better… Brain scans and painting bring to mind a painting posted by Richard Rothstein sometime in January. That was an abstract representation of an MRI if I remember right… That was one of my favorite paintings I had seen posted on A&P in a while. I also remember reading an interesting story that went with it... Can’t seem to get to the link now for some reason… Karl, I know you had an idea some time back for a feature on A&P where if you clicked on a persons name, it could lead to all of the posts by that person on A&P. I was wondering how difficult that would be… Leslie,

Sunil, I'll look at the first painting some more, given what Leslie says. Maybe I commented too quickly. They seem personal and the style seems well integrated with the subject matter, instead of applied on top of them.

THey seem personal and the style seems well integrated with the subject matter, instead of applied on top of them. Your colors always remind me of brain scans showing where the activity is. Although when you connect it to India that makes a lot of sense too. Sunil,

Birgit, I would want Evening Melody to enjoy a lot more sunrises and tomorrows... Karl, I wanted the Maori to convey an aspect of brooding sentimentality. The lines on his face with the wrinkled and leathered skin added to these dimensions. No this is not one of my 'usual' types... I guess. I find the actual painting a lot more powerful that the two-bit photo that I have posted here though... Sometimes when I go down to the basement to work on some new pieces, I find myself arranging some of the 'faces' around so that they can have a dialogue with each other and I find that I cannot seem to put anyone next to the Maori... Birgit, No, I have not seen Whale Rider, but I just checked it out on Google and I do plan on watching it... Thank you. Ginger,

Have you watched the movie Whale Rider? I do like the Maori in the first picture.

Have you watched the movie Whale Rider?

There is vitality in her eyes. I feel that she could glance at me any moment. The painting of the man is somewhat less personal, somewhat more like a photo and less like a Sunil painting. It leaves less to the imagination than some of your other pictures. Also, the colors are not as rich -- but I suspect this is the photo, not the painting. Sunil,
