I really enjoy the watercolor paintings by Steve Hanks. He developed an allergy to oil based paint and somehow has learned to paint in layers with water based paints unlike anyone before him.
















He also does a great job painting children.








Here are some others.







His work always seems to give you a glimpse into a real minute in time for the subject.

I also like some of the realistic works by Wyland. He works in a variety of styles, from murals, to photography, to sculpture, to pen and ink.

Whale Flight is a giclee (photo on canvas with paint accents) that brings me right back to my favorite place on the planet (Maui).
