a hopeful autobiography

one of my painting assignments for the weekend was to create a list of images that i feel defines my motivations as an artist.

after much, much deliberation:

elizabeth peyton
richard diebenkorn
clyfford still
cy twombly
mark rothko
monique prieto
amedeo modigliani
willem de kooning
edward hopper

I love the Edward Hopper, summer interior - reminds me a bit of a toulouse lautrec painting, though I love the strong lines on this a bit more than toulouse. I love how on her cheeks you can see they are red, red like a hot summer day.

This a wonderous - would it be ever possible for you to ever post some of your own work?
