I suppose “style” is simply what and who we are, so just keep on being who you are Eldon – it’s great. In many ways your work reminds me of David Hockney, who is very much respected over here.
Several people have made the David Hockney reference. After reviewing his work, I realize that’s a tremendous compliment. I’ll try to control any delusions of grandeur, though.
I appreciate each of your paintings Eldon!not only the figures are very good but they also animate the work in a beautiful way!and look at this wonderful color of the water!!
Thank you, Agnes. Your comments always mean a great deal to me. Again, good luck with your exhibitions!

This is lovely in every way. The grayish green is one of my favorites and your figures are excellent. Simply excellent!
What gratifying comments, Mary Ann! Thank you very much. You know, I greatly admire your art, so receiving kind words from you is especially nice.
Like David Hockney, do ya? Please consider posting in the Forum topic Influences at the RPG .
To be honest, I had only a vague recollection of the name “David Hockney” until a few comments – in particular Dave Edwards’ on this painting – prompted me to look him up. But, yes, I can now say I do indeed like David Hockney.
wow… I did miss so much of your latest work … I love how you have these 2 strong cuts in it ! Just gives it so much dynamic ! wonderful work !
Thank you, Michele. I do like to dabble with making separations within a painting – not altogether unlike how the binding/gutter affects some of your sketch-pad pieces. I see you’re getting back at me for catching up and commenting on so many of your pieces yesterday.
Your pictures are often framed or a view through windows. I wonder why you do this? It is interesting. Makes a great impact and I like the large size. Very nice work, Eldon.
Thanks, Marriet. I like the thought that windows and doors (all my paintings these days are on salvaged hollow-core doors) can take us from the known/comfortable environment we occupy, to the less certain world on the other side. It’s also a little wink at people (like a local curator) who are highly prejudiced toward traditionally framed art.

Awesome work.. your figures are fabulous
Thank you very much. Your paintings are very impressive. It’s amazing that you’ve only been painting a short time.

You’ve developed a really original style Eldon.
Thanks, Dave. I know what you mean, although I don’t think about style much, just what might work, without getting too comfortable.
