@edgarblythe,
Edward Hopper's least known paintings are some of his best, cause theyre quick, plein aire catches of stuff. Heres a WC of Lime Rock Quarry. Almost looks like he did it while low on colors.

@farmerman,
Hopper pleases me the way Norman Rockwell does

Vasilii Dmitrievich Polenov A Courtyard in Moscow 1877

I like this because it's so organic. The buildings and cathedrals seem to have grown up from the ground.

Isaak Ilych Levitan Quiet Monastery 1892
This is nice enough, especially the bridge and water, but the cathedrals seem to have been placed there in contrast to nature.

Portrait of M.K. Oliv 1895
by Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov

'A mildly ironic remark from the artist about his model has also survived: "She resembles a young mouse peeking out of a dark corner with two sharp eyes."'

@coluber2001,
Im not familiar with his (or her )work. (no a sound at the end so it was probably a guy) Was he/she one of the Russian realists? Lots of stylistic stuff like Caravaggio

Im a big fan of Thomas Eakins and his ways to make hi subject "pop" from the location. Much as the Russians .

@farmerman,
some of my favorites are these "Bromance" works where two buds would feed off each other (in a positive way, not like Gaugin and van Gogh , Francis Picabia and Marcel Duchamp used to get loaded together and coe away with entire basketloads of weird but neat work. I favored Picabia's but Duchamp was the better at developing "Artistic connections"

@edgarblythe,
There is a wonderful treatment of the reflection in the water here with the center of the picture being the interface of the water and the boats.

The French artist Bernard Pras has recreated a portrait of the postman Ferdinand Cheval , famous for having spent 33 years of his life building a palace that is called "Ideal Palace" and eight more years to build his own tomb, both considered as masterpieces of naive architecture.

From a pile of furniture and other objects, the artist used a brilliant perspective technique to bring out the factor in front of our eyes, because yes it's all about perspective!

@Lash,
Colin Goldberg has married Paintshop with abstract design. Iv reviewed a bunch of his work and Im going both ways. I like it for its ability to capture crisp design elements, and Im also not liking it for just about the same reasons. It seems to rely on sharp edges too much but where it works, its neat.
everything is an offset print, oras it appears to me(Or else something like Iris)
