Featuring Artist Rodger Drake

Miracle Whip never looked this good!

Artist Roger Drake calls Guerneville home on the beautiful coast of Ca. US. As an artist of many mediums and interest, Drake's works at present seems to be focused on his collection of figurative portraits. Even though he is now using acrylics, he has mastered the translucent quality of watercolor. Today's post, I must admit, is somewhat selfish in nature. Drake's piece titled "MW Jar" of Modern Realism Still Life, is equally as amazing. It is so deliciously crisp that it is hard to believe it is a painting. I've always strived for loose, fluid painting. But this movement of present day of modern still life paintings not only has me intrigued but memorized, and this painting of an item that many have in their kitchen cupboard is no exception. I love it! This is available for purchase http://www.paintersshowcase.com/listing/mw-jar

Bio: Painting for me is an adventure full of challenges on my path of self realization. Each image is presented as an emotional vision that luminates from my heart. I find an innate beauty in things that are temporal and unaffected. I use my artwork to create a mood and to tell part of a story. The viewer is allowed to expand and weave an interpretive cumulative response. A watercolor artist at heart, I now work entirely with acrylics on canvas.

Informations by Artist Priit Ruttas

Introducing the wonderfully creative genius of Artist Priit Ruttas from London in the United Kingdom. I found myself studying each print, searching and discovering hidden messages that are intertwined in continuous lines of abstract webs. Speaking from a minimalist point of view, my first perception was already pleasantly simplistic. Then It took me a step further and drew me into an enjoyable exploration of meaning and purpose.

Please enjoy your visit to Ruttas’s gallery at http://www.paintersshowcase.com/gallery/informations

Today's featured artist Russ Mackensen

Today's premium Showcase features Artist Russ Mackensen. He masters pastels with striking results. Mackensen's faith play's a strong role in his life, including his art. We are looking forward to seeing more artwork from this talented artist!

Bio: Having worked as an Architect for over 35 years I produced a lot of drawings and renderings of projects, but was not involved in fine art. Upon the urging of my wife over the last 30 years saying "you could do that" when we were looking at art, I decided to try Oil Pastels in October of 2009. It felt like a natural medium for me to work in as I was able to get what my mind was seeing onto the ground I was working on. I believe that as a Christian everything I do is summed up by the scripture "For From Him and Through Him and To Him are all things. To Him be the Glory Forever." In my life and my art I strive to give praise to the Creator of all.
