Outside critique

Yesterday, I met with Bobby Rosenstock for an outside critique of my work. He offered some helpful suggestions including that I look into Van Gogh's paintings of peasant's shoes.  He also provided some helpful suggestions as to the composition of future paintings and developing the life of current paintings.  I'm most excited about the idea of naming each individual painting as a person's name and/or a place. I have some reservations as to whether that would detract from the message I'm trying to get across, but that aside, I love the idea and think it could give the paintings that little extra 'something' they might need.
