"Hungry Eyes"

All these years I've been lukewarm to Edward Hopper's 'Table for Ladies' - and as I stood inches away from the real thing, that all changed. Prints, books, posters, internet images - they never give any artwork the justice it deserves. It's not so much the details - it's the richness of color, the brushwork - I can see multitudes of decisions Hopper made. Never doubt, looking at great works of art is a learning experience.

Beautifully done. The composition, and subject are compelling...stirs the viewers interest. Makes me ask myself "what is the girl in the painting thinking?"

Great design. I sometimes wonder if you don't know that museum by heart.
