I love painted detail, I admire the focus (almost monomaniacal) and the obsessive energy necessary to create it. But it was the isolating function of that endeavor that eventually pushed me away from the easel; partners, children, friends all became like ghosts hovering distantly around the act of painting. I believe your "Kingfishers" is a masterpiece Ulco, I am amazed at the size of the painting and what that must have taken to complete. I can see why the "Yellow House" is a favorite; mysterious, with layers of stories barely glimpsed, once again - Masterful. Thank you for sharing these!
