Steve Walker

What I Like About This: I admire and appreciate all of the works left to us by the late, great Canadian artist, Steve Walker.  In fact, it was his works that first introduced me to the genre of SGL themed art.  Here is a fine example of his "idealized realism" in which he deftly reveals a tenderness and inner beauty in that exists in the hearts of these two men in love.  Walker's somewhat cryptic title for this painting leaves one to wonder about its motivation, Is this a couple reuniting after a long separation or merely a brief lover's spat?  We of course can never know and that how he has peaked our interest in the work... the artist has provided us with so many lovely and precisely executed detail, but has left the central question to be answered up to the viewer's imagination.
