A photo cannot do justice to a painting.  For me, most of the time, a photo does not tell the scale of the painting .  I know to not always judge until I see it in person or at least, know the dimensions.  Really big.  Really tiny.  The size of a painting is such an important thing for an artist to consider.  

Seeing the Lucien Freud exhibit at The Modern in Fort Worth really proved that point to me.  I only went because everyone said to go.  Damn.  I am still talking about it after a couple of years.   

Come Closer is a small painting.  But within it, there are even smaller, tiny jewels of color.  It just begs to be viewed very close up.  These tiny dots of color make me sing. 

I am happy….
