"Posters and pictures in books don't do them justice."

So true. I think there's something about the brokenness of the color, and the way one color zings off of another, that the camera just cannot capture.

I am a painter myself, mostly in oils, and I had the funniest reaction the first time I left that exhibition-- even though I KNOW it's not true, my thought was, "His paint must just be BETTER than mine!" Wrong-- it's not about the paint. ;)

Maybe it was this:
