  1. Hello:
    thank you so much for this delightful introduction into the life and work of Jacob Collins, an artist about whom we knew nothing previously. Clearly the work you show here is more than merely realistic. It shows a confidence in handling light, shade, colour and form which is remarkable. This serves to make the viewer believe that one can see an inner spirit of the subject, thus transforming the merely 'photographic' into a work of art. Clearly, an immensely talented man.
