get thee to the MUMMERY

This is Philip Akkerman for Katie...
found this painting of his (in particular) really interesting--
his other ones shown on this site aren't nearly as relevant;

this portrait is in no way as rich as your darkened jewel-tones,
but his unexpected use of grey is really activated by this yellowy underpainting showing through, its really growing on me:


ohhhh wow. Alexis Harding, for Jules and Karen...thick, gloss and folds:

The texture and color of these is really remarkable. Thanks!
