Perfect. Website is just a random collection of tinted photographs, haven't done my research on where they found the originals, but beautiful images nonetheless.

I've had the pleasure of meeting this very inspiring oil painter a few years ago at the Winter Park art festival. She is amazing at her craft and is also selfless and humble and will talk with you for hours. I encourage anyone interested in portraiture (or anything else for that matter) to explore her site. She is wonderful, again, as an artist and a person.

Some of the prettiest vintages I've seen

In lust with annie leibowitz's photography. The passion (or at least gritty real beauty) is inescapable in just about every single image this lady has shot.

One of my favorite websites to view fine art. New York, Arcadia Fine Arts

Hyperrealism at its finest.

Jeffrey Berryman: Fascinating scenes of surrealism... mostly industrial scenes crammed with peculiar angles and haunting illumination.

Beautiful photoreallism. Met him at the Winter Park Arts festival along with Ms. Marta Crawford mentioned above.

Dawn Adams: This woman creates the most beautiful, placid scenes. Her inspiration was the serenity of water- seeking calm emotion after the death of her son.

Scott Coulter- my favorite exhibitor at the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival! Huge paintings of impressionistic scenes that, from far off, look perfectly photorealistic. Some of his scenes he invisioned himself. This impressive talent and his inherent vision are the key elements that make his artwork remarkable.

Liang Kai is incredible.

Truely, one of my favorites. Denis Peterson is an inspiration in every portrait I attempt.
