I didn't mind his stuff back in the day(attempt at more realism) but he tried too hard to be different on these new ones and they just don't do it for me...AT ALL. That being said, I am sure there are items that I own/purchased that many would not like so to each their own. I think he has a name because of his work with the card companies way back when but that is where it ends. I just can't get over the paintings like this...sorry. http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=129568 or this http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=129573. Ironically, the one that I liked best never sold. So maybe my taste is horrible...haha. http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=129577

I like those ones too, but hey it is all about taste. You obviously love realism, I like it to be mixed. The only real problem I have with the paining you love is that it is, at first glance, just a painting of an old man taking notes. The ones I love are the one's that at first glance are a baseball scene yet if you know things about sports then maybe the content may mean more to you. The Conlon is all about the knowledge of the content. |

Any for the record.. I didn't say I loved the Conlon painting, it is one of the ones I liked best.

2) Perez's paintings you can tell it is Ruth when it is meant to be. If you can't see the artistic talent in Perez's paintings because they aren't photo real then I am sorry you can't appreciate them. 3) How did this post get into a critique of Perez's artistic talents? I posted a pickup that I was proud of and asked if anyone else picked one up. How does any of the negative (or quasi-negative) posts pertaining to the artist help this keep the original spirit of that original post? |

2)I am sorry I mis-quoted you. 3) It became a critique right away no? I just happen to be on the other side of the critique that's all. It is great that you are happy with your purchase as that is all that matters. People are going to have different points of view.

D Perez Paintings
Who cares who likes them and who doesn't?
If everyone liked them then we would have had to pay more. If you like what you bought then enjoy it. I really like the Collins I bought. It's not an investment piece, it's decor. Everyone has a POV, nuttin' wrong with that.

Absolutely. I can't imagine collecting or buying something for my collection just to impress others or in hope of gaining their approval. If I did that, there would be a lot of things that I really like missing from my collection.
Collect and buy what you like. Seems pretty basic. |
