Dale Chihuly

I love dales work but mainly his installations. they are all so colorful. a lot of them are really simple and have simple concepts but they pop out like crazy. i would actually love to go see some of his work which is why i will definently research him more and more. i think you would love him too if you dont already know him.

Leonardo Da Vinci

Mona Lisa

Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most well known artists ever. i would say his mst known painting is this one of Mona Lisa. everyone i can ask will know who this is and who painted it. Da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in a small town in italy. he was raised by a single father and brought up to become an artist. Da vinci wanted to be different from other painters so he decided instead of tempura for a base he would use plaster and pant over that. the only problem was that in time the plaster wold flake off and need lots of repair. the most recent reapir was dome on May of 1999 on the last supper.

Before resteration

After restoration

I think Da vinci is one of the best artist in history he is just not my style or interest with his type of work  i picked him because i like him based on the fact that he is one of the best known artists ever.

Thomas Kinkade

Thomas Kindade paints very elegant and very very dtailed paitnings. he mainly does paintings on victorian rich style houses that seem like they are out in the middle of beautiful forests. Kinkades paintings go for a wealthy price but my mom does own two of his paitnings which are located in our living room. my mom really likes his art work and her passion for him has madce me have a little interest also.

Nathan Sawaya

Nathan does his art all with lego peices. i find it really interesting because everything he does is realistic looking and i am into that kind of art. this kind of sculpters take a lot of concentratioong and time to finish so you have to be very patient. Nathan does a lot of interesting lego art work and i am interested in looking for more to read into.

Chip Foose

Chip Foose is mainly a car overhauler but before turning cars into amzing peices of artwork he draws them out. Foose uses colored pencils and markers and highlighters and air brushes. chips automobile paintings are really detailed down to the last light and shadow. i love every thing chip foose produces and will always be a big fan.

Ed Hardy

Ed Hardy is a name brand of clothing made by Christian Audigier. I really like the ed hardy brand i think all of his items are really cool and if one pair of pants didnt cost as much as his brand does which averages out to around 100 dollars per per of pants i would probably have allof them. i think the artowrk is always very colerful and it always like pops out into your face.

Van Gogh



Starrynight

Vincient Van Gogh is a well known artist. Even someone who knows nothing about art and has really no interest would probably know his name if it was mentioned. i like Van Gogh because to me he is a very freely paiting artist. his paintings are very detailed and amazingly done but looks like he just sorta brushed over it with no real effort to me. i like starrynight espesially because it has a song to it.
