Tim Lowly has a knack for capturing moments in his paintings that are both serene and powerful. Â Excellent work.

There isn’t a great deal of work on her site, but it’s quality over quantity, and Jenny Salomon’s layered and textured portraits are well worth a visit.

Travis Louie seems to have come across a series of daguerreotypes taken of some fairly interesting and diverse folks.
In truth, these creatures come entirely from his imagination, and each comes with a mini-bio as well. Â Great stuff!

Carla Klein creates fantastically wide open spaces that near abstraction, and are right up my alley. Â Great work!
Dan Ryan

I have been itching to head up north for a while now, and Dan Ryan’s paintings are definitely putting me in the mood to spend some time in northern Ontario. Â If you can’t get out of the city this weekend, take some consolation from that fact that you can go here.
Stephen Nguyen

I love the subtlety of Stephen Nguyen’s monochromatic nightscapes. Â With very little detail he creates streets and cities, veiled by fog and mystery. Â Very cool.

I am having a very hard time putting into words how much I enjoy Nicole Vogelzang’s paintings. Â Well, I guess the hard part is stringing the words together coherently, so instead I’ll just say this: Â toys, childhood, halloween, gummy bears, so very very good.
It is inadequate, but it will have to do.

There are many wonderful things to see over at Matt Brackett’s site. Â And who doesn’t like wonderful things?
Rosie Schinners
Monday, June 9th, 2008
Rosie Schinners has an interest in film as well as painting. Â In fact, it appears all of her paintings are based on film stills, but the coolest part is how she chose the stills for her “Heart Rate” series. Â She strapped herself to a heart rate monitor, watched “heart pounding movies” and pin-pointed the moments where her heart rate jumped the highest in order to find her subject matter.
Even if the paintings weren’t great (which they are) this is a great series on concept alone.
