Too bad this is the best Golden can do now. Clearly, he's out to make money while he still can. If this is the type of work he's producing these days, I'm sorry to say that it would seem that he's washed up as an artist.
I realize that comes off harsh and perhaps presumptuous as well as I can't pretend to have seen all that many examples of his $500 commissions. I just can't remember the last time I saw something by Golden and said, "Wow".
