This is a sketch from my trip to the Houston Museum of Fine Art. I made a list of all the artist's I really liked so I could google them to do research later. But I must have forgotten to write this one down. Without posting the original painting, I was wondering if anyone out there could name the artist from my sketch? I'd really like to know.
Good Luck!

so is this a portrait by you of the artist? or is this a sketch of the painting by the artist who's name you don't remember? either way, great sketch and I don't know :)
(and yes my sketch was supposed to be Ronda)
*smacks head* duh, if it was a portrait of the artist then you'd know his name, sorry not thinking
I love to listen to you think! Yep, it's a paintinng by an artist whose name I can't remember.
Can't help you either, but a great sketch none the less!
Hmmm... I don't know either but he is cool.
Wally, are you pulling my leg? If not, this was an impressionist so that puts the C-man out.
Awesome sketch... the subject reminds me (for some reason) of Oscar Wilde, but I'd have NO idea of the artist.
This is absolutely NOT a Caravaggio (can tell from a) the pose and b) the face. THis looks like an Egon Schiele in the hands, pose and face.
Good guess, I'm familiar Schiele though, and it's not his. This is the work of an impressionist.
And I do think there are similarities to Oscar Wildae. :-)
Hi Ashley. Welcome. The struggle for me is finding the time to paint. I would like to reach a professional level. And to do that I think I need to devote the time to my art that I devote to current job. Which leaves me nights and weekends. But I am also a father of three and a husnad. There's always something else to do. But I am getrting better at finding the time.
BTW, your hand made books are beautiful.
Degas?
Sorry Amanda. I have emailed the museum. Hopefully we will hear from them tomorrow.
Hi Chuck! Still no answer?!!! ===(gritting teeth)===
the tension is mounting!
Hey, I'm glad you got the shirt! Thank you thank you! I hope your daughter likes it!
Hmmm... not Schiele, then it has to be Oskar Kokoschka- similar faces, similar hands...
ok, I just want you to know I lost an hour of work last night trying to figure this out. I even visited the museum site. I'm sticking with Degas...lanky, long snout, lack of facial hair, etc. But then again maybe not...this guy is too coifed. Hugh Grant?
This answer might be coming a little late, since you posed the question in 2005...but I think the artist is Frantisek Kupka. I was just messing around on google, and a series of links brought me to your page. :)
