May 22, 2007: "Painting of Tica" - this is not a photograph

Well this "painting" has been partly put togeather by air-brush, so I gather from his website, air-brush makes skin so much easier to do

I'm always tuned off by artist who claim about *their* art that "no other artistic style demands so much of an artist. " Feh. That's poppy-cock no matter *who* says it.

A damn fine example of photo-realism, but I'm afraid I'm one of those painters who generaly dismiss photo-realism of this degree as being more or less pointless. I'll agree it's a great way to hone skills, but a dancer generally doesn't post vids on You Tube of themselves doing crunches to hone their abs. (Although at least there'd be hubba-hubba value to that

)

I'd be more impressed if they also posted the photo that he copied. Who knows? Maybe this painting looks nothing like that photo.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon the original photo. Glatt is right, the painting is not entirely accurate.
