who im looking at...

I am frequently looking at different artist's work, for research, for inspiration and usually with a great deal of awe. Here are four I thought I'd share with you.

JW Waterhouse ( 1849-1917)

John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)

I've been keeping an eye on the above artists for some time. They were all working loosely around the same time but in very different styles. However, what draws me to them is also what they have in common... there content. Regardless of the different painting styles all of the paintings above are beautiful, romantic images of women.

The pen and ink drawing below is a piece i picked up the other day in a shop in Homewood. The artist is a contemporary as well as local artist. And! In this piece the subject matter is also figurative.

I am now prepared and ready to actually post on the this blog.

This semester at school was every kind of hectic and didn't leave any extra time.

BUT NOW! school is out and all of my art work happens to be in one place.

(Which has never ever ever been so before)

So. I, hopefully, will be able to put up a

"ART SCHOOL IN REVIEW"

of sorts.
