I admire his work, I think he does a wonderful work with light, and I am always going to be inspired by his paintings. Joaquín Sorolla and Mary Cassatt are definitely part of his visual experience. He is a Master. Thank you for having him in your blog.

On the transition from the tight still lifes, I am sure Mr. Larson enjoys the freedom of the figurative brush stroke and the lively use of color. sometimes we get trapped by our collectors on a genre that sells the best. i.e. his attelier work. I think that as an artist born in the early sixties, his creative process is changing as some artists palette change from cool dominance to warm. Let’s enjoy his journey. Wonderful artist with a lot more to say.

Surely that should read “The Atelier” – meaning “studio” or “workshop” in French?

My belated compliments, Charley, on a string of fine posts, this not the least of them.

I am struck by three things about Larsonâ€™s work: 1.) His attention to handling of translucent light, most obvious in the paintings of wash being hung to dry. 2.) His handling of reflected light: Figures back-lit in the high-contrasts of a water surface or the self-portrait in the platter above (which has a slow fuse in the viewerâ€™s recognition but is typical of his powers of observation.) 3.) Least obvious, but just as potent is his sense of composition.
