THE FEARS AHEAD BECOME THE WORRIES TO LEAVE BEHIND
Charming Baker‘s paintings are beautifully composed and bring forth a fantastic sense of both familiarity and unease. He uses oil on a variety of materials which provide an interesting, textural basis for his work and compliment his painting style and impeccable eye for editing.
Mother and Child II
After a sudden urge for mother/daughter subject matter, Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) automatically came to mind. Further research uncovered some gestural gems and a tragic story. Diabetes stole her vision and for 11 years she lived in almost total blindness, a story similar to her friend, Edgar Degas.
Blood Lust, Love and Gore
Los Angeles-based illustrator Hannah Stouffer is one of the most inspiring and prolific artists I have come across. Having had the opportunity to catch a show of hers at a gallery out west several years ago, I have been in awe of her work and productivity ever since. Take a bit of time to explore her site, she has a lot of gorgeous offerings in a variety of mediums, in her personal work as well as her commercial work.
