Okay... we'll i think i found a artist that really really really love. I love his play of old 19th century women in a darker light. The works have a dark, deprssing, and sinister edge to them that is really beuatiful.

Ancient Memory (2011)

Ultrachrome ink on paper
I like the contrast between the really dark saturated burnt umbers in the background versus her soft pale, pink silky skin.

Ultrachrome ink on paper

From Such Foulness of Root Does Sweetness Grow (2009)

Daena Title

She has a really neet concept behind her work. she uses abstract and realistic style to convey her subject.

"Pool Witch", 2009, oil on canvas, 60" x 60"

I like the blocked colors, it reminds me of the paintings we did where we had to block color of a picture of something that described us. The blocked color works very well with the abstractness of the pool water at the top of the peice. It is a very successful, i'd want one in my home.

"Dirty Fighter", 2010, oil on canvas, 48" x 48"

I also like the colors used, she uses light happy colors to convey childhood days of swimming in the backyard pool.

Melissa Cooke

I think i'm really jelous. She is AMAZING! i love how photo realistic her work is, like a picture taken in black and white. this is a qute from Melisa about the process she goes through for her peices.

"My drawings are made by dusting thin layers of graphite onto paper with a dry brush.  The softness of the graphite provides a smooth surface that can be augmented by erasing in details and textures.  No pencils are used in the work, allowing the surface to glow without the shine of heavy pencil marks.  Illusion dissolves into brush work and the honesty of the material."

"Too Much, But Never Enough(Drowning in LOKO)", 2011, graphite on paper, 50"x38"

“Self Portrait as Pig #1”, 2008, graphite on paper, 38” x 50”

Julie Hefferman

I found her work at the Mark Moore gallery site. I like how she uses ties to old portraits, like every cribs but in a painting. She has old setting but strange ideas put into her paintings. I like how she plays on fairy-taleish themes, but makes them dark and creepy.

Self portait as self script

oil on canvas       67X 56 in

I like that there are random animal coming out of her dress. This painting makes no sense, there are dead animals coming out of her flower/peacock feather dress. It is sortof grusome, but the delicate detail makes it  soft and takes away your adversion to dead animals.

study for self portait in need of perpetual help

oil on canvas     28x22 inches

This one is also random, it put her with lots of buttons and a fruit skirt, with an amidillo.
