Found José Royo a bit flowery for a Spanish artist! Usually women are depicted as strong ,mujeres ‘ However there is no question that he is a great painter! Just looked at Jeremy Lipking and what a brilliant realist painter he is.

When it comes to Spanish painters, I much prefer Joaquin Sorolla’s ‘mujeres’. His paintings are filled with Mediterranean light and reflections… wonderful stuff if you like subjects of this nature.

Sounds like another name for the list Alan. Well two portrait artists but very different styles , l like then brush work  it that makes sense of Royos  uncluttered work, and the photographic look of Lipking is amazing . As a non portrait artist I’m attracted to the look of Lipking’s work for the clarity of the paintings, However the painter  side of me is drawn to Royos portrait without the clutter , on the fence here could not choose a particular artist but lean towards Lipking a little more .  Some of the ones I particularly liked to many to show .

I enjoyed looking through the work of Jeremy Lipking, his portfolio was impressive. Two of my favourites from his collections had to be Riders Under Vermilion Cliffs and Between the Past and Present.

If you like Western themes Denise, check out Thomas Moran. I've seen a couple of his originals in our local art gallery.

Like you Denise I was struck by the painting “Under Vermillion Cliffs”. It stood out in his landscapes. I liked his portraits very much. There’s a clarity and cleanness about them but also a great depth of colour and emotion.

3rd one down of Paul’s choices is definitely a nod to “Flaming June” by Frederic Lord Leighton.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

The cliff painting - why don't we have cliffs and colours like that in Britain? - is, and I very rarely use this expression, breath-taking  - it's the subtlety of it that hit me amidships.  Lipking is a brilliant painter of textures - of clothing and of flesh.  Thanks to whichever one of you it was that made him better known to me, he was only a name I'd dimly heard of before.

I agree with you Robert on both counts.  But If you want to see vermillion cliffs in this county you have to take the railway from Exeter to Plymouth along the coastline.  However you cannot get those purple shadows unless you go a few miles out to sea, near sunset. I think the strength of Lipking’s work, lies in getting the tonal values spot on and the subtlety of colour.

I had heard the name Lipking but wouldn’t have recognised his work so thanks again for the eye opener. Interesting to read about him as well. When you look closer and ‘blow up’ some of the images, you see the brush marks and they are not all as realistic as they first look, which I like. Here are two I picked out. The first is a self portrait.
