Dear Unregistered,
Pardon this intrusion into your Eratosphere reading, writing, commentaries, and, ahem, all the other delights the Sphere is able to offer. But to keep it simple indeed, Eratosphere needs your help/sponsorship!
Ordinarily--and actually never before until now--I wouldn't post this personal notice to members outside the threads confines simply because there was more or less some measure of the much-needed assistance from usually a couple of handfuls--out of the hundreds active of the thousands registered--of very helpful members. But it seems things have fairly dried up--or rather, only a dribble remains--in terms of such help, even with the seasonal reminders where we bump the sponsorship threads, with as much restraint as possible, a couple of times or so throughout the year. I could go further, but I'd rather simply point you to the relevant assistance threads to read more or to interact with:
Thank you!
...Alex

This is good Wes. I like the subject and your use of the medium. I especially like the highlights. I only have one problem with it and that is the title. Maybe you could choose something that would not point us in the direction that this one does and will let us feel this for ourselves (which I think the painting allows) Maybe, Outside the 7-11 or On the Corner of 5th and Main, or something like that.
Nice work - thanks for posting

Hi Wes,
I like this too. The crumpled face under the two big hoods is very dramatic. The painting's quite small, I notice. I feel it's a bit hazy, kind of monotone. May be a good atmospheric effect. Interesting texture as well. But Cyn beat me to the punch on that title. I like paintings with little or no information.

Thank you. And, you're both right, the title is telling, not showing (or allowing the painting to do so).
I do hate titling my paintings; It's difficult to come up with something new. I like your suggestion, Cyn, of Fifth and Main, and might use something along those lines.
Thanks again,
Wes
