Oddly, the more time that goes by, the more and more I like this piece which surprises me. It was created very casually, the product of an experiment with a much larger brush.<br /><br />The line that this piece illustrates is also one of my favorites, although I think it is one of the saddest things I have ever read. Given the way Ahab is depicted, this simple line adds so much to the captain and to the novel. Melville was an absolute genius.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-24417785178327340732010-05-05T19:03:52.466-04:002010-05-05T19:03:52.466-04:00The deep helpless sadness in that painted purple e...The deep helpless sadness in that painted purple eye, geezy pete.

I really appreciate the feedback and coming from someone whose brushwork continues to awe me as much as yours does, you know this makes me very very happy.Matt Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854685960260054407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265792817762899253.post-22337058153269096422010-04-29T10:20:21.867-04:002010-04-29T10:20:21.867-04:00Love this one, Matt; really getting that spontanei...Love this one, Matt; really getting that spontaneity here.
