La Pipe

Ya know, one of the reasons I stopped being a Gallery Director was that I didn't have time to really look at art and artists on dA. God knows I'm familiar with your name but I never got a chance to see your art.

Well, I'm glad I did now. This is a wonderful piece and I had no idea you were such a great artist.

I've used Magritte's work many times to be inspired. His fanciful surreal style is one I'm so attracted too, so it's no small wonder I like your creation.

Not much I can add here but I do have a thought or two... I checked and the left side of the window frame is just a bit slanted. Maybe perspective but I feel the square should be there. I also think the thumb looks a bit distorted, like there should be a bit more 'bulk' to the shaft of the finger.

The last thing I can add is the most important IMO. I would love to see more room on top of the piece. I think it's just too abrupt a cut off and adds a bit of a pressure point to the piece.

I love the detail and shading throughout. Really a great piece.

Thanks for asking for the crit. I really appreciated viewing it... Sorry if I couldn't be more help...

I'm sure Magritte would be proud... I think Escher might a Kudo or two also...
