He is a lovely and gracious person. I found it interesting that he talked about how he worked from photos (even showed photos of his sessions), but emphasized that he practices working from life as well because it is only from life that you can understand the subtleties of color. He hangs his life paintings in his studio as reference when he has to work from the photos. Anyway, thanks for the write up.

His work is excellent. So right you are about his value relationships. Good that you point that out, and that is what I love about his work. That, combined with his mastery of subtle grays make his work very powerful. I’m glad you wrote about Mian, Charley. His work is excellent. So right you are about his value relationships.
