It has been so much fun looking at all these art styles and artists that I have never seen!

The artist below (Ron Francis) used to post on wetcanvas, but I don’t think he is a member here. He does paintings from his imagination, creates his reference images with software, and then makes oil paintings from them.

This one of the boy on the skateboard always makes my heart stop. He seems to be asking himself, “Should I do this? It might be a bit risky and it might end badly, but it could be fun!”

This one is probably obvious, but it sure reminds me of the difficulties of getting older and needing to do things that you might not be able to, like walking up a steep flight of stairs because you really want to vote, and it's on the second floor.

I assume this guy is a voyeur and not a thief. Sort of reminds me of some of the earlier pictures that were posted here where I felt like I was looking in on a private moment. In his case, it is probably very private!

I guess someone broke his heart sometime, somewhere.

I like the way these paintings sort of follow on from each other ( at least for me). Cool choices

Hong Ling

Born in Beijing in 1955, the artist Hong Ling studied oil painting in the years after the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966–76). In the mountains of rural China, however, his brush found a new path. Drawing together the imported medium of oil on canvas with the landscapes and philosophies of China’s artistic heritage, Hong Ling has made a contribution to the world of Chinese landscape painting unparalleled in its vibrancy. As exhilarating as they are immersive, Hong Ling’s paintings stand as an invitation to join him in the landscape that is his home and his inspiration.

-Peter Ferguson: Angels Came with Glad Tidings

I've seen a good number of other paintings by Ferguson... including this creepy number:

Most of his paintings are browning in color suggesting they are dated and have Surreal elements. I quite like the top painting.

I like this funky ceramic piece by the Russian artist, Inna Olshansky:

I stumbled on this work, Eve, while I was looking through the internet for artworks on the theme of "Eve and the Serpent".

I believe you posted it before. Anyways, never too late to comment: this is fantastic!

I saw this one on Saatchi. It’s by a German artist Heike Negeborn. Acrylics on canvas.

As per her own words, she actually travelled in the South of France where, many years earlier, Mr. Cezanne painted his famous Quarry of Bibemus. Her inspiration.

Sorry, the lady’s last name is Negenborn.

Where do you find these artists SLG? Yeah that top Ferguson is great art IMO. That kind of almost real surealism is fascinating. It's beautiful but unsettling and makes one fill in the narrative. Are they aliens? Are they just pollen? Is it referring to transpermia? I almost wish I hadn't seen the title first as it is so influential to the interpretation, but once seen layers on another way of seeing it. Maybe the angels are aliens that seeded the earth. Maybe the angels aren't so angelic. Satan was an angel.

It's one of those paintings though that one wonders..... who would hang this in their house? It's interesting that some of the best art is the least amenable to hanging on the living room walls. Good reason to have other rooms in the house I suppose.

I suppose, if perish forbid I'd actually need to make a statement, it might have gone something like this.

"I make stuff that's nice to look at. There's no meaning in it other than what you bring to it. Do you like it? Then buy it. If you aren't quite sure, I don't care, because somebody else will, and you'll be sorry. So unless you like the idea of beating yourself up when you find out it's gone, act now. Cash is always appreciated, but a check will do."

How about a wire transfer?? PayPal??

I've been aware of Nicola Verlato for some time. This is a recent intriguing painting by him.

Just stumbled on this great drawing by Jacob Jordaens, the brilliant follower of Peter Paul Rubens:
