STEVE HANKS

One of my favorite artist lost his battle with cancer this past April. His work inspired me and made me tremendously jealous at the same time.

ARTIST

FANTASY WORLD

I am an artist. This means I live in a perverse fantasy world with unrealistic expectations. Thank you for understanding.

Bensons
Mixed Media

A portrait I did for a friend's wedding anniversary. I am pretty poor at painting people. I had put down an under-painting of red which I couldn't get rid of. I call the painting 'Back From the Tanning Salon'.

OUT OF THE WAY

"When the work takes over, then the artist is enabled to get out of the way, not to interfere. When the work takes over, the artist listens."   ~Madeleine L'Engle~

NICHOLAS SIMMONS

Nicholas Simmons is an artist and musician who lives in the D.C. area. I happened upon his blog after seeing some of his fantastic watercolor paintings on a different site. His art is what I wish I could do with watercolor and has been featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine. His blog also introduces art from many other artist around the world.
