The paintings are not about anyone in particular, but about capturing a common experience, memory or idea. Most of us have experienced the sound of bubbles rushing past our ears, the broken ribbons of sunlight, bizarre reflections and the weightless, slow dance of movement below the surface.

During the painting process I try to capture their likeness in a photorealistic manner. I take my time—I am never rushed—I want my portraits to reflect my love and respect for the people with whom I share a very important journey.

As a child, pouring my thoughts and emotions into my art acted as a means for survival. It was a way to express myself when I could not speak about the things that were going on around me.
Featured Artist Susan Melrath
When I paint, I am exploring color, texture, and patterns, and how they relate. Each painting begins with layers of pure color and grows through a process of glazing, sanding, adding, and subtracting.

Taking dictation from the Creator, I learned to accept each brush stroke as a gift. Not to mess with it but to accept it as gift given, however imperfect it may appear.

I try to infuse my paintings with the passion and love I feel towards nature and creation. I do this through dynamic composition, juxtaposition of bold brush and palette knife work, textural passages and notes of unexpected color.
Featured Artist Martein Peeters
Inspired by seventeenth century masters, figurative artist Martein Peeters uses dramatic lighting and poses to create intriguing and dreamlike visuals.
Featured Artist Diane Weiner
My cow series represents sixteen years of exploration of bovines—studying their personalities, interactions, general nature and anatomy. I complement my decades-long classical training in the style of the Great Masters with more abstract colors to drive an emotional response from the viewer.
Featured Artist Don Rankin
I think this is a great time to be a watercolor painter for we have so many wonderful toys from which to choose—new paints, new paper and the like.
Featured Artist Catherine King
First and foremost, my intent is to tell a story. Through digital fine art I share that story. My images are typically photo collages brought together and enhanced through a wide range of techniques and software including Photoshop.
