I selected this for my background.
River Sunset
As I've mentioned before, I have grown up boating and on the water. When on the water, a peace and at home feeling comes over me that is indescribable. Here in Virginia, we say we are going to the "Rivah" and Martz's works transport me there. Below are some of my favorites I found on his website.

Reedville Sunset
Painting inspired by George Washington's birthplace.
I hope to someday be able to own a Martz painting. Do you like his style? What are some of your favorite artists?
I once went boating in the water between VA and MD when I was up there - gorgeous. I, too, love the water but grew up going to the white sandy beaches of Florida.
ReplyDeleteOne artist I love who does the coolest scenes of NOLA is Michalopoulos http://www.michalopoulos.com/
And while I'd never want one in my house, I do think Rodrigue's blue dogs are way cool. http://www.georgerodrigue.com/
I've never heard of Martz before, but I really like his work! The landscapes are quite idyllic. I graduated with a degree in the History of Art & Architecture, so I love paintings, esp. those done 'en plein air'.

ReplyDeleteI do not know much about painting styles or painting artistes to be honest. But my best friend has been the best painter I know so far. He has given me 2 paintings specially made for me during our childhood which I still cherish and will cherish forever.
