“I was moved by something that I was capable of doing,” Walker would later recall.

Amazingly talented, he was also quite a worker--

Oh, my goodness! :o
This is terrible news. :'(
At first the name rang no bells--I'm "that way" about names--but when I started to look at the images I was shocked. I know so many of them. I've been in the gallery in Provincetown that sold his works. I've bought cards with reproductions of his work.
I'm no art critic; I'm not competent to judge. But I liked his style of photorealism.
This is a terrible loss.

One of the things I like about Walker's work is that there is a sense of motion in everything. Even when the subjects are just standing or sitting, you get a sense that they are breathing, blinking, etc.

It says this one was done in 2005. I wonder if it could have been inspired by Brokeback Mountain? It certainly invokes thoughts of Ennis.
