Look at the way the shadows fall on the rucked up cloth with the silver teapot on it. They are like photographs. <br />Like Mark, my 'favourite' is the stacked up chairs. I think that that is very cleverly executed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642768891794895642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-77257671252128605462013-02-24T17:58:41.551-05:002013-02-24T17:58:41.551-05:00His work is quite remarkable!His work is quite remarkable!iluvcinemahttp://iluvcinema.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-5686839185454587272013-02-24T13:02:15.019-05:002013-02-24T13:02:15.019-05:00Hi, Yvette - I can see how you made that connectio...Hi, Yvette - I can see how you made that connection. I like that sense of stillness and Hollingsworth's palette. I'm particularly appreciative of artists who can render silver as he does! My favorite of these is the composition of chairs — it has an almost abstract quality.Mark D.

It is beyond me how artists achieve this level of realism.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.com
