  1. Janet Fish-I love the detail and transparency in her work, her colors are so vivid and clear, not muddy. I love the way she paints glass it seems to glow! I too would love to paint light like this!-Betty Mitchell

  2. I chose Elizabeth Peyton, and the reason why is due to the fact that she does watercolor portraits! They're phenomenal. In many of her watercolor portraits, they embrace the fluidity of the media yet she is still able to capture details and the "essence" of the model. This is very inspiring to me because I love doing portraits, and always load my work with detail. To see her work, having detail while also keeping it simple, is something for me to strive for in the future.

  3. I don't amire any of the work from any of the artist I've looked at. True alot of them are pretty, but that's not what I'm looking for. I what to be moved by art, and none of them have done that for me. I want to paint action. I want the viewers to hear and feel my paintings. Picasso does that in some of his works, but I want to do a better job at it.

  5. I really like Charles Burchfields work because you can obviously tell what he's trying to portray but it has a cool sort of abstract almost trippy quality to it. I especially like the piece that he did with the dandelions.

  6. I really like "John Robert Cozens, "Lake of Albano and Castel Gandolfo." (Yale Center for British Art, New Haven.)" because it gives a nice sceneray ,the color is not to brigt and it looks almost realistic.

  7. I really enjoy art done by Eleanor Hughes. One piece she did that is stands out in my mind is titled "Trees, Cornwall." The way the trees are so realistic and full of character is amazing! The way she made the back ground look as if it could be engulfed by distant fog is very cool.

  8. I like the work of Frances Anne Hopkins. Her paintings are peaceful and beautiful and I wish I could paint like her. The themes in her art make it easy to know who it's by becasue she repeats the themes. They catch my attention easily.
