Ray Ceaser

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.

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.

Josephine Wall

I first ran into this artist because her work was my callender. I really lover her detail work, every inch has a profond amount of the detail. I like how she bring lots of diffrent imagery together in her paintings. these paintings make me want to go to the places in them. I could sit all day and daydream about the places and stories behing the people in her paitings.

"Cheshire Cat Cuddle"

by Jasmine Becket-Griffith

size: 8.5"x11"
painting, you buy it as a print
line is used because she ises it to create the deatils, like armd eyes, closthes. Color is used from the orange and white cat to the blue dress.
I really love Jasmine Becket- Griffith, I found her work sometime in high school and really enjoyed all her paintings. I like how there is some inoscence of her girls faces, but with the redness under the eyes theres a twinge of evil on their porclein like faces.

"Below Zero"

"Marie Masquerade"

this one is my favorite!

"The Scarecrow"
