Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Cheetah Brothers by Alison Nicholls in Port Chester, NY.
Nicholls does it again. She’s been featured here on the gallery many times. Oh, and don’t miss my interview with her from over a year ago.
Process: Squared Diner by Peter Koval in Brooklyn, New York.
Aspiring watercolorist and professional photographer Peter Koval provides some excellent process images on his Flickr account.
I love seeing an artist’s process.
Untitled by Jen P. Harris in Hudson, New York.
I love when artists work with a limited color palette. Some of my favorite paintings use only one or two colors. Harris pulls of this technique beautifully.
Harris is on Tumblr and Twitter too.

Cloudy Eye by Oriol Angrill Jordà in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
In Jordà’s Blendscapes series he creates portraits blending in scapes like waterfalls and mountainsides. It creates a rather marvelous combination.
Headpiece 17 by Akira Beard in San Francisco, California.
I’m a sucker for order-from-chaos type art. Beard’s overall style could easily be characterized that way though he seems to have a “detail dial” that he can simply turn at will. When he wants a piece to delve into realism he simply turns the dial.
Amazing work. I suggest taking a moment to peruse his site.
From the Menagerie by Kareena Zerefos in London, UK.
The best way I can describe my thoughts on Zerefos’s work is… just enough. She never overdoes it. Something I tend to do. Lots to learn from her.
I suggest you take a look at the rest of the set.
Untitled by Chad Marshall, Middle School teacher.
I began digging for more information about Chad Marshall but realizing that his student posted this, who is a minor, I decided not to press too much further. Typically, that would stop me from featuring the art. However, this is just too awesome not to feature.
This is one of those pieces that can be stared at all day.

Imagine by Vimal Chandran in India.
I love the relatively haphazard yet simple style that Chandran’s work emits. The work seems to be very simple but upon further inspection it is really quite wonderful.

Geisha abstract by Silvia Pelissero in Italy.
I used to really dislike the tedious nature of animation. It takes hours and sometimes days to get small amounts of work accomplished. As I’ve gotten older, I enjoy the medium a lot more.
- Carol Wyatt.
Something I take away from this quote by Wyatt is that we should learn to embrace the hard parts of our work. If something is difficult that is typically the area to make something great. Those that are willing to deal with the difficult parts of work are usually the ones that stand out.
