5- Robb Woods

Woods uses color and warm colors to capture the vastness of the Arizona desert.  Looking in on his pictures is light looking from atop one of the stones structures.  The way the light and shadows fall helps the illusion.  The colors also give it a fantastical appeal.

5- Melinda Jennings

Though i said that sometimes realism is boring, I know it takes real skill.  Jennings captures picturesque buildings with intricate details and tries to capture the natural lighting of the scene.

5- Martha Saduek

 

Unlike most of the artists at this gallery, when Saduek paints her landscapes, she uses colors that takes away from the realism of the pictures but does not take away from the actually picture.  It gives her works a dreamy feel.  Often the colors she uses emphasize aspects of the picture more then a more realistic landscape would.  I think its boring when you copy everything exactly.  That's what photos are for.

5- James LaCasse

 

I went on a google search of Deanne Sabeck from my previous five artists and somehow it led me to the Spiritwind Gallery where a small group of artists sell their work.  On of them was LaCasse where he sells bronze sculptures.  The ones I preferred were the ones the told the story of the apple from the tree of knowledge and Adam.  It related to me personally because I looked at the same story for my AP concentration.

Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name

Her Deviantart

 

I remember browsing DA and finding her comic.  The way she had her layout for her colorful panels and the unique typography combined with a brilliant storyline and character designs make her comic come alive.  I aspire to be a comic artist as talented as her and able to give great characters life.
