Artist and designer, Kim Kibby has taken up the practice of daily paintings. She paints small scale still-life, figurative, wildlife and floral pieces in oil, loosely but accurately rendered with deftness and sensitivity. There’s a wonderful femininity to the handling and choices of subjects; each given thoughtful attention. They are lushly colored with very focused compositions. Her website also features examples of her commercial design work. There is also a blog for current updates on the daily paintings.

Eric Shaw

Eric Shaw’s Drawings and Paintings are uniquely strange, full of distorted and contorted figures. They seem ruled by a detailed personal mythology and mysticism comprised of dancing figures, magical runes, flowing waves energy and ritual sacrifice. They are enigmatic curiosities that are a joy to wander through and wonder about. There is plenty of work on his site to contemplate, decipher, and get lost in for hours.

Tom Bennett

“Sonja" Oil on Canvas 24” x 30”

New York artist, Tom Bennett’s figurative paintings and monotype prints are dark and intense. He thoroughly understands the weight and volume of his subjects and his distortions of them describe motion and emotion so evocatively. The viscous nature of the paint and ink are apparent and taken great advantage of. His website is laid out in a very straight forward way and contains several interesting articles about the artist and his work.
