The weekend approaches, and that is always a beautiful thing, so I’ve decided to do the only appropriate thing I could think of and present you with the comparably beautiful work of Daniela Astone.  What better  way to enjoy the weekend!

Contemporary still life subjects plus a technique inspired by the Dutch masters equals incredible works of art by Doug Williamson. Â The toy ambulance is my personal favourite, but I encourage you to go through the portfolio and pick your own.
Gillian Iles
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
Some paintings leave my thoughts very quickly after being seen, but Gillian Iles’ paintings seem to linger in my head long after I’ve walked away. Â That isn’t the only reason I like her work, but it is perhaps my favourite thing about her work.
Jeremy Forson
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Artist, illustrator, and all-around creative guy Jeremy Forson has a clean and detailed style that has won me over. Â Plus, I’ve always been a sucker for a good zombie scene.

Some people have an incredible way with words, so much so that it is a pleasure to listen to them speak on just about any topic that should come to them. Â Others, like Seth Armstrong, have an incredible way with paint that makes it a pleasure to view every image created.
Sally Chupick

A fantastic colour palette and stunning sense of light make Sally Chupick’s landscapes really stand out for me, especially during these grey winter days that are often lacking in both areas.
Jim Houser
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Jim Houser creates brilliantly simple, graphic works that are a whole lot of fun to look at. Â I couldn’t find a dedicated site for him, but there’s plenty to see on his page at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery site.
Ryoko Tajiri
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
By simplifying her subject matter to only essential pieces of information, Ryoko Tajiri manages to cut to the core of things; allowing form, colour and brushstroke to take centre stage. Â Fortunately, her forms, colours and brushstrokes are incredibly compelling and evocative.
Wendy Chidester
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
You could say that Wendy Chidester is a historical anthropologist as much as she an artist. Â Her beautifully rendered still life paintings feature well-used antique objects that are imbued with more personality than you could ever hope to find in any modern convenience fresh off the production line.
Lane Bennion
Monday, February 1st, 2010
To my eyes consumer culture has never been as appealing as it is when Lane Bennion paints it. I’m not saying I’m suddenly overcome by an urge to walk around a mall for hours, but I wouldn’t mind spending the bulk of my day going through Bennion’s extensive portfolio.
