Today I’m admiring the watercolors of Francesco Clemente, an Italian artist whose work has morphed quite dramatically throughout the decades. While Clemente doesn’t have a lot of watercolors in his portfolio, I think that they are among some of his most exquisite work. See more of Clemente’s work here. “Honey and Rust,” by . . . → Read More: Watercolors by Francesco Clemente 
Gabe Brown creates enigmatic multi-layered paintings. Woodgrain patterns, rainbows, a sinking ship, a road-to-nowhere. What is the world coming to? Brown doesn’t provide answers, but lets the viewer choose their own interpretations from her colorful imagery. . . . → Read More: Paintings by Gabe Brown 
Like a quilter, artist Joe Kievitt takes a few simple geometrical elements and repeats them over and over again. Kievitt is really good at juxtaposing bright contrasting patterns and colors next to one another. To see more of this artist’s work, visit the previous post “Joe Kievitt sings between the lines.” . . . → Read More: More colorful geometric drawings by Joe Kievitt 
“Oil Slick” 24” x 24″, acrylic on maple panel wood, 2012 I’ve admired the work of Marin, Califonia based artist Tiffany Bozic for a long time. Taking inspiration from nature, Bozic paints highly realistic illustrations with a surreal flair. One of my current favorites is the first image in this post which shows a . . . → Read More: Paintings by Tiffany Bozic 
I love the quirkiness of the above painting. I think it should be titled “The Glue that Holds a Marriage Together.” Inspired by the figures in vintage photographs, Vermont based artist Jennifer Burton re-imagines her subjects in new surroundings. The varied countenances of Burton’s subjects are captured with amazing authenticity. Bewilderment, sadness, cheerfulness.

Colorado based artist Heather Patterson is really good at combining different patterns and forms to create cohesive paintings which tickle the eye. In Patterson’s work, geometric shapes mutate into biological forms. Natural landscapes become man-made networks. How does she do this? In her artist’s statements, she writes, “I use a variety of media to create a . . . → Read More: Imaginary worlds by Heather Patterson 
The encaustic painting (above) reminds me that spring is here, today. The work is by Oregon based artist Rebecca Shapiro. See more of her portfolio on her website. 
I love the work of London based artist Peggy Wolf. Wolf recently collaborated with Danish knitwear designer Iben Høj creating a series of illustrations for the Autumn/Winter 2013 lookbook (see the last image in this post). (patternbank) . . . → Read More: Fashion portraits by Peggy Wolf 
“The Dark fish” Oil on canvas 48″ X 36″ Commuting to work, among a throng of cars. Waiting at the checkout line in Costco, behind people with shopping carts packed as if they will be feeding an army. Trying to find empty space to stand during rush hour in the subway car. Today I feel . . . → Read More: Painting by Christopher Dotson 
Fluorescent colors galore. Only a very brave artist would combine so many neon colors in a single painting. Using a palette knife, French artist Françoise Nielly skillfully fills the canvas with bold strokes of bright color. I featured Nielly’s work last year (see ”Portraits by Françoise Nielly“) but the prolific artist has already come back with a slew . . . → Read More: More portraits by Françoise Nielly |
