Roberto "ROY" Ercolino

My friend, also if you put a simple line on canvas, i think that is a good work...because you have a so reconizable touch...!
The colors are alive and your texture is great as usual. I love this work.

Roberto, You are so kind to take the time and the energy to support what I am trying to do. It has never been about how many stars but trusting someone who I know to be a real artist in breath and deed. Your comments often sustain me. Ti amo , ricardo

Nice work Rick, I see a certain pride and nobility in your rooster, he's definitely at the top of the pecking order in his roost! love your colours and texture.

I love the dark underpainting, the red, and mostly, I love the eye, it somehow anchors everything. This is a lovely painting. Can't wait to see what new colours you might decide to use.

8 months

Rick Levy

on color I am learning a lot just by looking at your recent painting. Lots of different colors are somehow so united and very personal to you. I haven't seen color themes like it around here much.

Hi Rick, the thing I like most about this is the colour. The yellow background is dazzling. The rooster's comb is quite regal and elegant. He looks quite majestic standing there as if at any moment he will raise a wing and give a royal wave. :) Really do like it Rick. Paula XXX

Just love your rooster Rick. Beautiful brush strokes on the feathers. Love the colours you have used which I know now you own. This stood out on the thumb nail and had to go back and look. Didnt know it was yours. Wonderful 5 stars.

"the Rooster!" such a cock with a sixth sense! would this be a self portrait?

8 months

Rick Levy

Well let's just say that I had to get my blue gray suit out of the closet if that's what you mean. And thanks for the sass, I love it!

The colours Rick , for me they are so good together and the subject is perfect, loving the darkness beneath, is this a self portrait?? xx

8 months

Rick Levy

Thanks Jules, self portrait sure but not intentional. I better take a look at that beautiful African portrait.

I love this cock. It reminds me of our Portuguese Barcelos cock, a national icon. Thanks Rick for sharing it with us. Isaura

Kostas Koutsoukanidis

Well, this work proves your motto about the use of a limited palette. You're using the three basic colors (red, yellow and blue) in such harmony. The use of brush / knife strokes, I think tends to be your style. Great result my friend.

michael penston

van gogh cam to my mind too when I saw this cock/rooster. I think it is a combination of the vibrant colours, particularly the yellow, and the texture.

Thank you Michael, Sometimes the timing is just perfect, to get some positive feedback just when you need it. Great!!

Dear Rick! Very nice colorfull professional work! Your painting is very similar to early period of Gauguin.Tipical cloissonistic colors.Yours faithfully: Ákos Szeri!

Kerry Wembridge/Ziernicki

I like this painting. I love the colours and texture. Sorry I can't make technical comments about the technique etc. I don't know enough about art to be so presumtious. I read your comment on Jami's work. Thankyou I got a lot from both your and Gregory's critique. My aim on PIL is to learn something, gain some confidence and improve. Oh and enjoy everyone else's contribution to so many diverse forms of art. Kaz

This one I like, Rick. I like the way you layered the color, the simplicity of the design, the yellow background. It takes some talent to make white look interesting. I'll comment on your others, and you asked for honesty, so don't get mad.

Rick Levy

I am not here to get stroked but to learn from people who know something that would help me evolve and get better.

Celeste Schor

I know :-)
I'll try to be constructive.

Celeste Schor

It's funny, my boyfriend says that I'm totally here to get stroked! lol. He says it's like mutual masturbation. Although, as I told you, I never say anything that is not true. I happen to love art and artists and I'm pretty expressive about it.
