(GUYS WHO DO STUFF I LIKE)
TOP FIVE ART HEROES
5) Winslow Homer- I'm not a fan of his famous works but the really obscure and simple ones he did are really blue.
4) Thomas Moran- I like doing the occasional landscape. This guy is good but sort of repetitive. The landscape Warhol.
3) Franz Marc- The blue silky Fauvist. I'm all about Fauvism and he does it in a jazzy way. Good use of color and movement. Sweet.
2) Frederick Church- A more recent descovery; I don't really know anything about him. Also a landscaper but his work is a lot better than Moran's.
1) Henri Matisee- number one guy; inspirer of most of my stuff. Better than Darin. When he was going blind he started cutting paper and doing art that way. Excellent.

The sky is awesome.The vivd colors work really well in this one; things get lighter and more yellow the closer they get to the sun; both the clouds and people. The sun's yellow is reflected on the water in the lower left, the coach's top, and the mountains on the right side. On the cattle, you don't quite see the sun's color, but the yellow mixes with their dark red making some kind of orange The painting's genre is classified as Romantiscm, but some people say his art style should be called Luminism.
This is one of my favorite paintings. I didn't know who painted it for a while. It was done by Albert Bierstadt, called "The Oregon Trail" and done in 1867. Oil on canvas, 31 X 49." Alby looks like a mix of Chester Allen Arthur and Santa Claus.
