One thing I like about their paintings is that they feel 'timeless'. Their work are not intentionally made to look 'classic' or 'modern', they just look like the artists depicted them based on what they saw, and not what their time and culture imposed on them and I like that. I may also feel this way because they were closer to my time, though I can't say the same for the Hudson River school paintings.
Both of their work seem to show some serious cracking, I wonder if it has to do with certain paint that they use such as Flake white?
