RICHARD M. GREENE

AVILA COMMUNITY NEWS (OCTOBER, 2008)

“...Good paintings” continue to describe Greene’s work. His work is compelling and collectable. Retrospectively, his current work shines with confidence in both subject matter and execution...”

THE ARTIST’S MAGAZINE (January 2005)

“Channel Island” by Richard M. Greene is a very strong painting with many elements that work well. But Greene broke some basic painting rules and as a result he challenges our perceptions of what a good painting must include...in the hands of a less skilled painter these decisions would have led to an uninspired painting. ...despite the many challenges, the artist brings the subject, color and mood of the painting to a successful outcome.”

SANTA MARIA SUN (Dec.22-Dec 29, 2005)

“In Greene’s works, you can simultaneously see the subject and abstract patterns of blocks of color, lines, and textures. Some of the details are rendered clearer and sharper, while others are more abstract. You know you’re looking at a moment that really happened, only it’s tinted and stroked by the workings of your mind, or, in this case, Greene’s mind.”

JOURNAL: THE MAGAZINE OF THE CENTRAL COAST (APRIL, 2004)

“...I like his unique style of painting. He uses a broad brush and his work has a watercolorist feel. It’s difficult to execute . He’s very skilled and obviously has a trained eye.”

“THE BAY NEWS ART SEEN (September 2004)

“...’the mark of the tool’ in Richard Greene’s work attracts the viewer to his paintings. Using an ordinary household varnish brush...gives his lush landscape subject matter an immediate emotional impact.”
