This painting is as much about the artist's brilliant painting skills and technique as it is about the subject matter. Sundblom's quick bravura brush strokes seem abstract on close inspection. When the viewer pulls back, everything falls into place perfectly. The Haddon Sundblom Challange: Is there anyone out there in 2018 who can paint a picture this good without tracing photographs? Do I see any raised hands? Signed upper left This sunbathed painting will light up your room with warmth. Sundblom's painting technique has the freedom and quick energy in his paint application. His subjects are bathed in the late afternoon light and are depicted at a peak moment of drama as they engage in a homey discussion. Every brush stroke carries a lot of information as the artists describe shapes and forms with a flick of the wrist. In-person, this work commands the viewer's attention. The bright sunflower yellows and warm pinks make it striking to look at it. Signed upper left.
