nsri charity auction
I like this one. It's a very compelling abstract. It kind of reminds me of one of my favorite painters Stuart Davis when I look at it small but much less like him close up.

Stage
Along College St. W. near Bathurst St. - Toronto, Canada
I walk down College Street a lot and I always enjoy this painting. It's outside a bar.
I like that in the photo the man on the street is a similar size to the painted figures.
This part of College Street is an Italian neighborhood that has a lot of new and trendy bars.

my elephant garden
I love the tiny elephants inside and those unusual plants that she is watering. What a fun and intricate drawing it is.

La Peste
I enjoy the cover art on a lot of old books. What I most like about this one is all the rats silhouetted in the forground.

Winter tale
I love the colors and light in this. Looking at it makes me want to climb to the top of that hill. I also like the way the trees are drawn. It's almost an animation style, at least it reminds me of those old cartoons that have great backgrounds.

Pomegranate and Passionfruit
I especially love the way the little pomegranate seed housings look with their little empty spots for the seeds to go in. I'm very partial to pomegranates in any case, to look at or eat.

oil on canvas: "waiting for night"
This is an oil painting that looks a lot like acrylic. I wonder why the artist uses oil. Looking at this makes me think about painting my walls purple and the ceiling lavender. This is pretty much what I envisioned my ideal studio to be like when I was growing up.

portrait of a girl with red tulip
An amazing portrait. It reminds me of a book I had when I was little of these colonial American portraits painted by traveling portrait painters. It was a book I really liked, I enjoyed going through it and taking a long time to look at all the pictures and the things that were put in the background.
This artist has a lot more work that I am enjoying looking at, in diferent styles. He has a great art blog, very thoughtful and captivating images.
