Darcie Peet

OK, sometimes I come across an artist that just makes me feel like I have been living life in the slowwww lane. Darcie Peet has such an impressive body of work, depicting so many gorgeous vistas, I don't know how she does it! Especially if you look at her biography and realize that she has achieved excellence in other fields as well.

Her website is so impressive, due to the huge collection of impeccably rendered landscapes. She has real talent for capturing the many moods of mountain light. It makes me feel like I have just been on a great backpacking trip. The vivid colors suck you in to take in all of the subtle details. I will have to keep coming back to appreciate all that there is to offer!

Darcie, if you see this I wanted to get permission to post this, but I couldn't find contact info, so please let me know if you want it removed!

Len Chimiel

OK, this is really a fun project! I just got an email from one of the artists I featured yesterday and he gave me a list of names of artists he likes. Len Chimiel's work stood out to me. I really like the sense of movement and texture in his landscapes, and those colors are just yummy!

Len, if you see this, I usually try to write for permission to host images, but I couldn't get your email, I'm happy to remove this if needed...

Robert Lemler

I came across Robert Lemler's work as I was surfing the web for landscape painters. Something I noticed about his work is that he has an interesting sense of design. I really find the still life on the top to be exciting. I like the idea of composing a still life off of a notion of limited color palette. I also like the view point from above, which makes for composition that can float a bit more.
