Artist of the Day / Andrew Holmquist

I’ll let the reviewer talk about Andrew’s work.  (And, yes, I somehow managed to show all of them twice!) “The crazy-beautiful paintings of Andrew Holmquist seem to be celebrating the chaos, as if to say, “yes, it’s a train wreck, … Continue reading

Artist of the Day / Sonja Barbaric / Zagreb, Croatia

Sonja’s work is very compelling.  She can, and often does, tell the viewer when she did each painting, and what she was feeling and trying to express.  I also love her last name.  I’d prefer Michael Barbaric to Mike Smith! … Continue reading
