When I started trying to promote my own artwork online I kept coming across other people's art that amazed or compelled me in one way or another. This blog has been a way for me to practice thinking and writing about art, as well as learning more about my peers and all the incredible art that is being made out there.

Ilya Zomb

Here are some unique and whimsical narratives. There's a great deal of work at zombart.com but the reproductions of some of the older work is not so great, which is a shame.
These are relatively big files so it's really worthwhile clicking on them to view them larger.



















"The Pleasure of Walking on Water" 44" x 50" 2006



















"Harmony with Grapes" 42" x 50" 2007























"Leisure of Three Graces" 50" x 38" 1998

Javier Marticorena

This is good solid painting and would be strong work regardless of the subject matter. But I do enjoy his sometimes intriguing choices

"El Piano" (detail) can't seem to find the whole painting but that's OK.






















"La Inmunda" 130x130cm 2005























"Light To Go" 30x30cm 2007

























"Like an Animal" 30x30cm 2006

Robert Anderson 2

An artist I described earlier (see November 2008) as having something of a split personality in his work has added a couple more selves in his skull. It still amazes that all his selves are really good.
He's posted most of this work at artist-listing.com

















"Sheep Pasture Near Taos NM" 30" x 42"























"A Life in Gold and Red" 60" x 48"

















"Into the Moving" 48" x 54"






















Unknown title
(Robert, if you see this let me know!)

Here are a couple new pieces (see my earlier post) that unerringly evoke the mood of humble natural scenes. I've walked in woods on winter days and this is what I saw. This is how it felt.
(more like early spring for that last piece)
