received a nice email from Randall Tipton thanking me for blogging his paintings at Migration Gallery. He sent me this new image, Estuary, 26x20 watermedia.

I like his work the more I look at it. (see for yourself, web site here). His engaging composition, luscious painterly surface and masterful use of color - I was suddenly reminded of David Levine, who I haven't thought about in years. These perhaps not the best examples of their work to illustrate my point, but go to their web sites you'll get my drift.
