Here's the latest David Jackson, which is the most recent acquisition, still unframed: "Cutthroat" I have admired Jackson's work since I saw one of his paintings as an illustration in a flyfishing book. Can't remember the book now, but I bought the print. Thanks for sharing "Cutthroat". Might have to swing this one as well.

Sorry I don't know how to post pics but here is a link to one of my favorites. Les Kouba. I especially like the dark house spearing paintings. He has many other wildlife paintings as well as you will see here: https://www.google.com/search?q=les...mp;ved=0CFoQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=955

I am partial to wildlife art. My dad worked for a company in MN called Voyager Art, and was able to meet a lot of wildlife artists. He was fortunate to do side work for them, in exchange for originals/prints. As a wedding gift, I got to choose one, and I chose this painting by Jim Hansel, who is legally blind. I can't believe how beautiful the colors are, and how great of a job he does transitioning between colors. I have this original in my house.

Sculpture/bronzes - Rodin Paintings- I recently saw this one on a site and still studying it... Refreshingly a muscular Christ the carpenter instead of the popular feminized figure. The Resurrection, Francesco Buoneri (�Cecco del Caravaggio�), ARSH 1619-1620, Art Institute of Chicago.

I think this man's work is amazing, and not just because of his mental deficiencies. When he was a child, Alonzo Clemons suffered a traumatic brain injury that left him with a permanent learning disability. Barely able to speak and with an estimated IQ of 40, Clemons didn�t have much to look forward to in life�until he began sculpting. At school, he would sit silently in the back of the classroom, molding bits of clay into tiny animals. When his teachers took the clay from him, he began scraping bits of pliable tar from the pavement around his school and working on sculptures in his room at night.
Alonzo is now considered one of the most talented sculptors on the planet. He creates incredibly realistic sculptures of animals�mostly horses, antelopes, and bulls�after seeing an image of one for only a few seconds. According to his mother, he can see an animal on TV and then complete a sculpture of that animal in half an hour. Even though he is unable to tie his shoes or eat on his own, it seems his mind somehow grasps the shapes and forms that he sees, and his hands become a flawless conduit through which he can reproduce those images. When asked how he does it, Alonzo will simply smile and point to his head.

For anyone who likes western art if they ever have a couple of hours free in downtown Calgary, Alberta they should go to the Glenbow Gallery. (I hope I've got that right.)
When ever we were there visiting our daughter we used to try and get to the gallery. It never failed to entertain.

Although he is a good friend and that could possibly taint my views, Thomas Aquinas Daly is my favorite. http://www.thomasaquinasdaly.com/
