Check out this up and coming artist:

Primarily self taught and residing in the Pacific Northwest, Meridith captures her subjects with the essence of their unique personality. She started taking her art seriously in 2002 and created a memorial drawing for a friend of his horse. From there it was another horse drawing and another and then a dog or two. Facinated by the way light fell across texture, and the interplay of light on color Meridith takes detail to a whole new level.

My series of athletes, painted in oils on linen, show luminous torsos woven

into a grid of gestural drips. The paintings channel a specific personal moment

of profound realisation. each emotive piece explores the range of emotions I

experienced when confronted by my first live boxing match – the cascading drips

of blood and sweat that stained the boxer’s body, the solace and tenacity in the

individual’s gaze. I represent this effect by first applying the white drips, which

take a month to dry. The glowing surface and optical depth of my oil paintings

is obtained through applying numerous translucent and transparent layers of

kinetic brushwork. This method invites contemplation, as oil painting dries very

slowly.

My technique requires I wait for each layer to completely dry before the next

glaze is applied. The resulting fine network of dripped lines optically blends

colours when viewed from a distance and depicts my subjects’ individual colour

temperature. It is in this private place where the depth of each man’s gaze is felt.

The focus is on the human condition, and, like Michelangelo’s David, the resolve

and success of the individual is not dictated by physicality alone. This innovative,

layered technique is the result of 20 years’ professional practice and academic

research.

I don't know who Debbi Philip is but I do know Steve Carpenter; amazing, phenomenal and incredibly talented artist. To see his paintings up close is indescribable! Not only has he enriched the lives of many local artists, he has enriched the community.

Sorry Courtney, There's just something about the far out style that gives me the creeps! Being a simple recreational artist I prefer the predictable, realist or impressionistic styles. It was the articles focusing on the far out stuff that caused me to give up my subscription to the other artist magazine a few years ago. I'm not saying these styles are not good, they're just not for me.

I like Aaron's work. Have you considered work that is a bit more unique? I do something I call, "Neo-Luminism". It is created with composition gold leaf, copper leaf, chemically-induced patinas and oil on panel. www.stevendaluz.com

I also like the work of David Ochoa...and Alex Kanevsky.
