Philip Curtis' "The Parade"
Philip Curtis has a lot of paintings at the Phoenix Art Museum, which sort of makes sense, he was a founding director! Anyways, his paintings are always interesting, I love the colors, and the imagery is fascinating in and of itself. But I really love the way his paintings are painted, you can't tell from images on the internet or in books, so I recommend seeing them at the Phoenix Art Museum if you ever get a chance. Takashi Murakami's "The Olympic Champ"
Murakami is crazy awesome. What else can you say, I recommend checking out some of his other stuff, very psychedelic!Charles Bell's "Finis Coronat Opus"
Charles Bell's work is ridiculous in its technical mastery. His subjects ranged from pinball machines, gumball machines, marbles, toys... Anyways, he's one of the photorealists I truly love, so so shiny, haha, the light and glow, man wonder how long it took him to paint these things!
Her paintings are very fun, beautiful colors. I like the way she balances objects and paint in her images. Very cool...Robert Bechtle's "58 Rambler"
You either love or hate this kind of art. I love it, although I don't particularly like it when this sort of art gets too photorealistic. Bechtle's pieces are always pretty slick, yet they tend to have a sort of romantic thing to them, which I like. And the way he captures the California light, well, I love that.Sue Kutosh's Self Portrait
Don't know much about this artist, but she seems to do a lot of work in pencil. She's got some surreal stuff going at times, and I love the glow she gets in her pencil drawings. Never seen one of her pieces in person, but I can imagine they are incredibly well executed... I'm also a big fan of drawings as final pieces, rather than as a prepatory step towards a painting.
I recently discovered this artist's work, very beautiful, scintillating, surreal, dreamlike. Huge fish flying around is never a bad thing in my book!
I love this painting, very dramatic and romantic. From what I can tell in his biography, Schinkel became a full time architect and stopped painting... There's a lot of German art from this period that I absolutely love...Gerard ter Borch's "Paternal Advice"
Gerard ter Borch was a Dutch painter who specialized in genre scenes. The main thing that is so wonderful about him is the way he paints clothing, especially women's clothes. Wonderfully executed, yet there always seems to be a nice dynamic in the paintings, so the technique doesn't tend to overshadow whatever is going in on the painting.

Shaymus: Cool, glad you liked it, hope I didn't ruin it too much for you, haha! Isn't that intro scene awesome!
My favs are "The Olympic Champ" and the acid trip fish painting. I think the fish are trying to speak to me. Ok, who switched my meds again?
I like the Merriam work the most. I think it's really fascinating. I love to have art like that order. I like always finding something new and interesting that draws my eye every time I look at it.
Babs: Haha cool! Yes, the fish are trying to speak, they are saying you need LSD!!
Lindenksv: Yeah, it is fun, when you can keep discovering things in an image, like it just unfolds. Hey, by the way, you better be keeping an eye on my sister, make sure she doesn't do anything I wouldn't do!
I like freely flying fish also. I actually have dreams about them!
Awesome! I wish I had dreams like that!
