For this artist, i chose to do a FA on on the painting, "Danielle #2". I really like this image because it seems like it is very worn. I also like that its very smudged. It kind of looks like someone spilled water on it. I think it makes it look so much more mysterious, and it makes me wonder how he went about creating this magnificent piece of art.

The image i chose was "Jim Morrison". I chose this because the doors are great and Jim Morrison's an awesome dude. This is a weird portrait because it's topless, and that's not for me. But it's a really good picture that has cool colors and is put together really well. The mixed media on wood is a really cool concept, and i would love to learn how to create pieces of art like that. All I can really say is that it's a really cool picture. I probably would purchase this, given if I had the money. I have nothing more to comment on it.

I chose Bob Marley #2. What I like about this painting is the way Marley blends in with the colors. I love the way he is not centered; it allows the viewer to admire the characteristics of the painting. I first notice Marley, and then I look to the left and study the paint. I notice that Marley looks somewhat transparent which adds to the painting and its significance.
