My paintings are presentation of spontaneity & my thoughts...thoughts flowing through the mind...through the life...through the experience & liveliness coming through spontaneity Colors....flows through the inner circles of mind...which reflects the dimensions of the thoughts that are traveling in a wavelength matching to the spontaneity of thoughts... ...Gopal Weling...

Joanna Batherson - My inspiration for art has come from drawing and the nature surrounding our world. My painting began as a hobby and through taking many courses and instruction from various Maine artists, traveling in USA and abroad, and moving to beautiful California,it has become a wonderful and fulfilling part of my life....

Pim Van Der Wel - Pim van der Wel (1950) combines the art of making watercolours with his work as a business economist. After lessons in all the basic drawing techniques by two Dutch painters in the periods 1980/1987 and 1994/1996 he specialised himself in watercolours. Watercolour offers hardly any limitations, so he can show what he likes and that is light and shadow in dents, creases and gloss etc. His objects are sports (mainly football), cans, torsos, animals (cows, sheep, dogs and chicken). In the last 10 years his work has been shown at (group-)exhibitions in the Netherlands. Some galleries have his works permanently in stock. ...

Erin Emily Robinson - Art is such a beautiful thing, it allows us to express ourselves and to enjoy life. It is such a great gift to see the world through an artistic perspective. I just express the beauty I see in everyday life. There is such amazing art I see everyday, so different but all of it so touching and inspiring. I just hope to discover more about myself through though my paintings. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy my paintings, feel free to drop me a line with any comments or questions. Thanks!...

Laurie Pagels - "I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do" -- Leonardo DaVinci Today must not be a souvenir of yesterday, and so the struggle is everlasting. Who am I today? What do I see today? How shall I use what I know, and how shall I avoid being victim of what I know? Life is not repetition. (Robert Henri)...

Eve Thompson - "Painting is my way of expressing the joy of seeing. By organizing the play of contrasts and vivid colors, I can capture the feeling of intense sunlight. This moment of illumination is what I hope to convey to my viewers."...

Ian Sheldon - Light and sense of place are key elements that inspire Ian Sheldon to paint. His subject is consequently varied, from the open spaces of his native prairie land, to the abandoned buildings of pioneer homesteads in the North American west, or the dramatic architecture of the cities where he has lived. Ian was born in Edmonton in 1971, and was brought up in South Africa, Singapore and England. While studying for his first degree (BA Hons) at Cambridge University, England, Ian began to paint the historical architecture of the city. Since 1994 galleries have exhibited this work, and in 1998, Cambridge Contemporary Art, the city's leading commercial gallery, accepted his watercolours. The City of Oxford, sharing a similar architectural heritage, has become a recent focus, and his work has been shown by Objet d'Art in Woodstock, England since 1996. Ian makes frequent trips to Britain to pursue his architectural passion. Ian is a self-taught artist, who believes that his true understanding of artistic self-expression will come best through his experimentation with various media over time. He believes that as he ages, the wisdom that he gains with experience will be powerfully reflected in his paintings. Ian ...

Richard Olmstead - Influenced by my art, design, and architecture background of the 50's-60's many of my works incorporate a modern style. Creating good design out of materials that were readily available was and remains a priority. Form, function, and appearance are important considerations of my work, which includes: buildings, paintings, furniture, jewelry, lighting, sculpture, set design, pottery, custom automobiles, and other applications. I believe in paying careful attention to the slightest detail and striving for perfection. Applying skills, talent, and imagination to materials transforms them to art. ...
