BEAUTY: Painting--David Palmer

These floral still lives by artist David Palmer walk a great line between Impressionism and Pop Art...the colors are wonderful! And I love the rough color fields behind the blossoms.

BEAUTY: Painting--Richard Claremont

Summer is almost upon us and it is in the spirit of warm days, beachside visits, and strolls through the French or Italian countryside that I present the wonderful, Impressionist work of Australian painter Richard Claremont. It makes me think fondly of my own times walking in the Tuscan countryside and hearing wild boar rustle the bushes around me or wandering around villages in Provence and smelling lavender...

Top to bottom: Afternoon By The Orchard; Afternoon Drift; Beach Holiday; Memories of an Italian Summer; Morning Coffee, Pittwater; On The Terrace; Sunburst; Wandering Light

BEAUTY: Painting--Jan De Vliegher

Fancy a quick trip to Europe? Belgian artist Jan De Vliegher creates lushly Impressionistic images of top destinations on the continent and in the UK as well as lovely 18th and 19th century decorative arts: France (Versailles, Sèvres porcelain displays), Italy (Siena, Venice, the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Murano glassware and chandeliers), Austria (Schönbrunn Palace), and England (the vast decorative arts holdings at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London). I love how his technique is gorgeously loose with huge, vigorous brushstrokes but the result, like a true Impressionist, conjures the complete realistic view of that place or object. So beautiful...

Top to bottom: Antinous; Boboli; Cabinet; Chandelier; Cherubs 8; Duomo Siena; Facade Roze; Glass 4; Glass 23; Happy Lovers; Interieur Rood; Marcus Aurelius; Schonbrunn 2; Sèvres Plate With Flowers; Treasury 11; V & A 3; Venus Disarming Cupid; Versailles

BEAUTY: Painting--Mark Grantham

Regular readers know how much I love painters who use their medium like cake frosting. I love seeing traces of how the paint moved and how the artist moved it. That coupled with a love of color makes me in awe of the Impressionistic landscape work of Canadian artist Mark Grantham. Look at the lush brush work and the vibrant, summery colors!
