 Glass Jar with Chocolate Boxes Newberry Considering some recent topics, a change of pace is in order, so I thought I should take a moment to speak of something beautiful. While I do enjoy and appreciate art greatly, it is my wife that profoundly loves it. So, recently I decided to purchase a work of art for my wife, a surprise gift for Christmas. I was planning on buying a pastel... (See the whole comment)

 Hazards and Benefits of BenevolenceJoseph Maurone I originally started this painting as a depiction of the crab bucket mentality, but it changed with the aftermath of Katrina. I think the hurricane challenged me morally in my response. Part of me says the victims should have known and left, and prepared in advance. Part of me says the stranded suffer as a result on their reliance on government ... (See the whole comment)

 First HeatBryan Larsen This painting obviously goes beyond "reference" to "a chapter out of" Atlas Shrugged. Maybe I'm wary of references because they're typically so worn out and pretentious. Well, Larsen unapologetically lifts a scene from Atlas, and *WOW*! I think it takes guts these days to venture beyond banal, bucholic landscapes to an industrial interior and be ab...

 The ConnoisseurNorman Rockwell Norman Rockwell, a realist painter from before the rise of the modernist painters, painted this most striking piece of comical irony as his response to the rise of the modernist painters such as Jackson Pollack and Pablo Picasso. This work, painstakingly real shows within it a modernist paint splattering and a man, who no doubt, like most of his t... (See the whole comment)

 Invariance and EnlightenmentJonathon Earl Bowser I like the light and also the composition with the balance between the woman and her statue and the diagonal lines of light coming in from the upper left against the lines of her and her statue. The woman and the statue, being almost identical but seemingly from different times, create a strange timelessness. ... (See the whole comment)

 Study for Among the CloudsBryan Larsen This skyscraper is monumental, exceeding everything else by the majority of its height. It penetrates through the clouds and rises toward the stars, suggesting that Man's elevation is limited only by the extent of his initiative and exertion. This painting is a worthwhile vision of a future of ever-expanding human freedom and opportunity, and provi... (See the whole comment)

Larsen provides a two principal images of strength, the sleek, consistent te... (See the whole comment)

 Catching DewdropsDamon-Armand Heslington Denys Despite the activity, her dress, and the flowers in her hair, catching these dewdrops is clearly not a light or half-hearted undertaking. Look at her eyes. This painting embodies the concentration and seriousness that one can and should bring to any activity of ones choosing, whether it's running a railroad or making hamburgers. ...

He has been called the "Norman Rockwell of comics," though he is much more inspired by illustrator Andrew Loomis. While other artists have painted superheroes before, Ross has captured the essence of the humanity of the c... (See the whole comment)
