"Focus on Faces" is the subject of this week's Sunday Art Review. The ultimate face ever painted, in my opinion was the Mona Lisa, by the great Leonardo DaVinci. Since art is so subjective, I thought I'd mix things up a bit and bring together a variety of differing styles for this week's installment. My Sunday Art Review feature has become quite popular over the past few months. Traffic to the site spikes on Sundays and I tend to receive a number of e-mails regarding the artists or pieces I share. This weekly blog series has now been referenced by a newspaper in Nashville, TN as well as a few other sites on the Internet as an unpretentious presentation of art. So thank you to those of you who have e-mailed me regarding prior Sunday Art Review posts. Now, onto "Focus on Faces":
above: "The Conjurer", by Palm Springs artist DJ Hall. I've seen this in person at the Palm Springs Art Museum it is actually two large pieces that are next to each other for the complete scene. This speaks "friendship" to me.
above: "Isidro In My Shirt" by Los Angeles artist Tony de Carlo.
above: "Girl in the Field", artist unknown (sorry for the slightly blurry photo). She seems troubled to me, or at least preoccupied.

above: "Miss Joan Crawford", artist unknown. I've always liked this portrait, she seems so elegant.
above: "Anne Churchill", by John Henry Byrd. The red shawl really makes this piece.
Do any of these faces speak to you? Which face do you like best? Comments are always welcome and appreciated.
