I found Alice Neel's work to be very intriguing. After looking through it all, you can see that she has her own definite style of painting. I am one for realism so her work is kind of new for me. Alice Neel is a cross between realism and expressionism. Her style is distinctly her own. I really liked this about her. Since I just finished up an impasto piece I've been working on, I have really liked painting loosely. Neel shows her loose and not completely precise work, but also includes detail and her proportions are always correct. I would love to loosen up the way she does.
