Only in the sense that you know what you are seeing, even though the colour confuses the eye at first. It is after time that the viewer will begin to ‘‘feel’ the heat from the landscape and then enjoy the sensations that have been generated by the artists energy input. Brian has featured in Tubes TAG (tubes artists gallery, issue #1) and since then has had many exhibitions in his home state of Arizona and beyond. He has also gained admirers in Europe, in particular among painters who are artist fellows of painters TUBES magazines.
