Dave Gurney uses a sketchy style that is similar to how we are taught to mark-make. Leaving in sight lines and varying line quality are things we all have strive to do in our work. I think this diner still life is also applicable because it has two point perspective with cylinders and box, which is what we drew during for our mid-term. Although this is somewhat academic art, I like the composition of the piece because it forces the eye to move back in space and the varying line quality gives the objects character.
