Art critic Greg Albert says:

"Handling detail is always a challenge for a painter. Too much detail and a painting will look cluttered or lifeless. Too little detail and a painting will look unfinished or unfocused. In The Date Seller by Autralian artist George Alistair (user name, Kernow), the artist got it right."

All lines lead back to the center of interest, the man in the painting. All details are handled very well in that the major focal point has the sharpest contrast in color, the blue apron on white shirt. All other colors are less sharp in focus as well as intensity. The man's face is framed by the artwork hanging on the wall behind him with the most intense of all colors being the orange around his face. Very interesting textures keep the eye moving around the piece and back to the center of interest

very nice...I would consider not having the mans head appear to be in an orange square...when we
have a good setting we may need to still eliminate or move something for composition..
