I saw this painting (Ophelia by John Everett Millais) at the National Gallery in DC this weekend and it was amazing! If you’re in the area, do try to check out the Pre-Raphaelites exhibit!
From Yuri Leonov’s St Petersburg set. I liked the color palette and general ambiance of the piece. (It conjured memories of some dance parties I’ve attended in museums.) Leonov’s work is quite eclectic. I recommend checking it out.

The work of Doug Smock. Thought provoking. Beautiful. A little crazy.

Cheryl Hicks does the thinking for me:
Most of my artwork consists of photography based images reproduced in acrylic and collage. My newer pieces are a series of portraits in which the skin of the subject is made of contour lines of text.

Not particularly in the mood for overanalyzing, or even analyzing for that matter.
I like Amy Shackleton’s work. The colors are beautiful and she dissolves the boundary between reality and fantasy by painting combinations of land and cityscapes in a way to suggest a liquidy movement. Who doesn’t love the blurring of the line between reality and fantasy?
Sorry, folks, that’s all I’ve got today. Check out more of her work here.

I owe the internet some art, as I did give my word and all. I hope this works for you.
Meet Charming Baker. He likes cheap books, girls, dogs and tea. And his artwork is pretty awesome. Energy. Movement. Content and context. Colors. Enjoy.

My interests in art are eclectic…at least that’s what I tell myself. And it’s with that in mind that I share the work of Tascha Parkinson, a self described ‘urban primitive folk artists’.
While not all of her work is comprised of adorable Fridas…much of it is. Peruse here.
