hey I was going to say Bob Ross! I just started an appreciation thread for him on another message board.. a wonderful person, who could produce amazing expressions in the blink of an eye..
Alex Gray is deliscious.
Geiger is beautiful.
the great masters are unmatched.. Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael
I remember seeing that Wyeth painting up there, the one with the girl in the field, in a short story book in high school... great, moving story, the painting suited it perfectly..
The Mark Ryden looks very intruiging.. I'll have to find more of his work =)
