KLIMT is a PIMP


Look at that sweet beard.... ITS NONE OTHER THAN, Austrian born Symbolist painter, GUSTAV KLIMT... I picked up a little book of his work a while back at Strand and read it over. Great Artist....So, with my recent kick for painting old artists I like I painted him...based off of this here Image... I actually saw "The Kiss" back when I was in Austria years back... Truly impressive work, and on a very large scale... I think I'm most keen on some of his color palettes...Like all the golds and yellows he plays with in his images seen here in ATHENA or images like THIS where the whites are implied (and describe forms real well) without being so harsh...

Please lemme know what you think...Comments always welcome, and a huge high five for anyone who will step up and be the 100th Beers and Bears follower...

More to come, and as always...I hope you dig...
