I like this philosophy of fear, of revelation

abstractsbyalli ::

Orsillo ::

December 04, 2009

This and Werner Herzog are my favorites both have that something special that transcends time and the computer screen. I think both of these should hang side by side.

Fabulous! Picasso is one of my all-time favorites. Love the use of shadow here.

NickYoungArt ::

March 08, 2010

Very kind, Jennifer. A happy accident. The work was NOT going the way I'd wanted, and I was about to throw it away when . . . .

lightningman ::

March 11, 2010

Incredible work!

singularscenes ::

March 18, 2010

This is stunning work. One of my favorites!

NickYoungArt ::

March 19, 2010

I appreciate that, Wenata. This was the happy result of a piece that wasn't working out . . . until I was struck by taking it in another direction. Serendipity.

GabyH ::

March 20, 2010

This is my favorite.

NickYoungArt ::

March 20, 2010

Thanks very much, Gaby. This is a piece that wasn't working out. I was ready to toss it when another idea struck. I'm pleased you like it.

romanovnafineart ::

March 23, 2010

Beautiful work. I admire your use of light and dark on this work.

NickYoungArt ::

March 23, 2010

Thank you very much, Zeana. It almost ended up in the trash bin because it wasn't working out. Then, a fresh idea . . . .

visualpoetry ::

kniskern ::

May 26, 2010

I really enjoy the dramatic shadow cast upon his face.

NickYoungArt ::

May 26, 2010

Thanks, Christina. This one almost ended up in the trash when it wasn't working. But, as I've found, it's better to let a piece sit awhile. In this case, a new approach dawned on me, and it was saved from the dumpster!

JTank ::

June 11, 2010

I really like this one Nick. Great job.

oltymestudio ::

Nice piece. I like art that captures parts of a face.

NickYoungArt ::

August 17, 2010

Thank you.

CaraSchingeck ::

August 21, 2010

Nick, your original style and use of composition, shadows, not to mention your obvious skill make your portraits easily recognizable as those that are by your hand and by a very important artist.

NickYoungArt ::

August 21, 2010

That's very nice of you, Cara. Thank you very much for your generous support.

janetegorman ::

August 25, 2010

Great work. You managed to make his face look like it was sculpted from clay.

NickYoungArt ::

August 25, 2010

Thanks very much, Janet!

ceciliagilabert ::

August 27, 2010

When I looked at it I thought: it seems to be Picasso. Congratulation for selling the original. It's a great portrait.

NickYoungArt ::

August 27, 2010

Thank you so much, Cecilia.

zm ::

October 06, 2010

exceptionally light touch to bring out such subtle detail... congratulations !

Thank you!

plasmo ::

October 18, 2010

the composition astounds me. It captivates me, makes me feel, The last thing I realized, most of the canvass is black. Outstanding piece.

NickYoungArt ::

October 19, 2010

Thanks, Bob, that's very kind of you.

jbjoani2 ::

October 25, 2010

Congratulations on selling this piece, Nick! I love it. I love how you placed the shadows. He is instantly recognized and it done with great taste.

NickYoungArt ::

October 26, 2010

Thanks so much, Joan!

WerewolfV ::

November 06, 2010

when I stare at this face at keeps staring back at me. for some reason the name of Alfred Hitchcock hits me when I am trying to understand what that thing is going to be when the face comes out from the darkness. Is it what I am expecting or something else, something disfugured, like... Guernica.

NickYoungArt ::

November 06, 2010

Your thoughtful appraisal means a great deal, Vladimir. I thank you for it.

WerewolfV ::

November 06, 2010

Nick, no problem. but somehow you have achieved a great deal of dinamic. the image is about to jump out from the shadows. it is unique.

Wendy_Ferguson ::

November 09, 2010

Wow! This is a wonderful and powerful piece! Thank you for posting such great work...

NickYoungArt ::

KJWPhotography ::

November 11, 2010

Love your work, the light and shadow of this piece grab me, awesome!

NickYoungArt ::

November 11, 2010

That's very nice of you to say, Karen. Thank you!

Captiva-Concepts ::

November 20, 2010

Okay, this is the one that bends me, makes me turn and look away, just to turn back around and delve visually further into the piece. This is totally awesome!!! Actually can't think of a right word (very unusual for me)......I'd say it's somewhere between eerie, tantalizing, with a touch of electric.

NickYoungArt ::

November 21, 2010

I appreciate your comments -- and reaction -- very much. The interesting thing about this piece (and art in general) is that it's a happy accident in a way. I was ready to chuck it because the original conception wasn't working out. But I stopped myself and gave it some time. Voila . . . a new approach presented itself. The lesson for me is to never give up on a piece.

GinetteCallaway ::

November 21, 2010

Damn Good... can I say that?

NickYoungArt ::

November 21, 2010

You can . . . and I'm damned pleased! Thank you.

dittywriter ::

November 24, 2010

I like your work,this one is my favorite.

NickYoungArt ::

November 25, 2010

Thanks very much, Ernest. It nearly ended up in the round file, but I let it sit an extra day and that was just enough time for a new approach to emerge. The moral of the story is 'never give up on a piece.'

I like this work Nick, the mystery of Picasso!!!.

NickYoungArt ::

March 31, 2011

Thank you, Richard. It's one of those 'wait-before-you-chuck-it-in-the-trash' pieces. It wasn't going well, and I was on the verge of throwing it away when a new approach hit me. I'm very glad you like it.
