 The Art of Alex RossAlex Ross I wanted to share with SOLO my love of the work of Alex Ross. Ross is known for his dramatic paintings of superheroes. He has been called the "Norman Rockwell of comics," though he is much more inspired by illustrator Andrew Loomis. While other artists have painted superheroes before, Ross has captured the essence of the humanity of the c... (See the whole comment)

 Picnic Island, CloudsNewberry Between hurricanes, Kant, and the anniversary of 9/11 I was in a terrible mood. This 9/11 turned out to be a beautiful day and more in keeping with my spirit I went outside to draw landscapes. You can find the other three at www.RomanticRealism.net, the info marked in blue are the recent updates. Michael (See the whole comment)

 Mile High Skyscraper: "The Illinois"Frank Lloyd Wright (I would like to give due credit to Mr. Philip Howison for referring me to this work in an earlier art discussion.) This full view of an immense building dwarfs the landscape and even the metropolis surrounding it. The building's faces reflect the sunlight with a golden glow and contribute to the purposeful, upward-striving angularity of thi... (See the whole comment)

 The SoloistDamon-Armand Heslington Denys This work conveys an image of impressive elevation. The woman stands on an elegant, spotlessly polished marble balcony overlooking a richly detailed city far below. Her glance is firm, and her posture and composure indicate a fundamental comfort with being present at such heights. Her position may also be a statement regarding her musical talent an...

 Catching DewdropsDamon-Armand Heslington Denys Despite the activity, her dress, and the flowers in her hair, catching these dewdrops is clearly not a light or half-hearted undertaking. Look at her eyes. This painting embodies the concentration and seriousness that one can and should bring to any activity of ones choosing, whether it's running a railroad or making hamburgers. ...

 The Gods of MarsMichael Whelan This is a striking piece of art from well known fantasy artist Michael Whelan. He did this piece as a book cover for 'The Gods Of Mars'. The image shows a naked man surrounded by alien creatures with angry postures. Yet even in this alien environment, the man is in control of the situation, as shown by fact that he's driving a sword through one ... (See the whole comment)

 The Weight of the World: Atlas in a New AgeDamon-Armand Heslington Denys A businessman reclines confidently on a windowsill and manipulates a toy-sized globe in his hand with an almost carefree ease. This is a demonstration of the empowering effects of technological progress on the Atlases of the world; no longer must they strain themselves to their limits in order to wield the colossal power that maintains the world in...

 Invariance and EnlightenmentJonathon Earl Bowser I like the light and also the composition with the balance between the woman and her statue and the diagonal lines of light coming in from the upper left against the lines of her and her statue. The woman and the statue, being almost identical but seemingly from different times, create a strange timelessness. ... (See the whole comment)

 Oil Painting 22Alexei L. Antonov The utilization of color in this work is exquisite. The various shades of red, manifested by the pomegranate, the liquor bottle, the tablecloth, and the background are juxtaposed with green from the grapes and the melon. This painting is replete with detailed variety, also featuring two roses and a decorated vase. ... (See the whole comment)

 BB&T, Est. 1872Quent Cordair In this painting is a beautiful ultramodern skyscraper in the middle of farmland a small distance from a farm. It's the setting and placement of the office building that makes this painting so utopian, I think. Where's the infrastructure? How do the people get to work? Well, maybe they fly there or teleport there, or something, but wouldn't it ... (See the whole comment)

 An Awakening MindDamon-Armand Heslington Denys A firm young woman reclines on a hillside with a book in hand. With determined and focused eyes, she surveys the scenery around her, likely taking a moment to deliberate over the contents of what she has read (as she has her fingers in the pages of the book, intending to return shortly to the undertaking). She is alone with her thoughts and elevate... (See the whole comment)

 The LacemakerJohannes Vermeer This painting depicts a woman diligently at work on her craft. Her eyes are entirely focused on the work of her hands, ensuring precision in an age not yet automated. Her elaborate hairdo and manner of dress suggest a general orderly disposition and a desire to bring structure to her surroundings. The accurate depictions of her fingers in action as...
