narrative of the medium

Occasionally I surf the web to see what shows are opening, events that are going on, and to look up other artists that I have recently met. The painting, Portrait of a Military Doctor, came up in the margin of an Art News email. I was immediately struck by the similarity of the geometric composition and color palette to my own painting. As the observer of these two images, I'd love to hear your commentary on this, as this has happened to me a handful of other times. Ponder, 2
