Paintings of Jim Gaylord

I think these paintings by Jim Gaylord are really fresh - well balanced combinations of realism and abstraction:

If You Leave
oil on canvas
48 x 84 in.
2007
Cruel Summer
oil on canvas
34 x 40 in.
2007
Should We Talk Above it Now?
oil on canvas
40 x 62 in.
2006

These works by Jim Gaylord remind me of the abstractions by Ingrid Calame:

INGRID CALAME
From #231 Drawing (Tracings up to the L.A. River placed in the Clark Telescope Dome, Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, AZ) , 2006
Enamel paint on aluminum
24 X 48 inches


They also have aspects that remind me of pop artist James Rosenquist:


"The Swimmer in the Econo-mist (Painting 3)," by James Rosenquist, oil on shaped canvas, 13 feet 2 inches by 20 feet 3/16 inches, 1997-8
