 Romantic Realism is alive and well in Burlingame, Ca.Quent Cordair The wonderful people at Quent Cordair Fine Art have been hard at work on their expansion to the gallery. They've acquired the space next door to the present location and they've joined the two together. The very last of the construction, painting, floors, and electrical should be finished within the next couple of days. Soon they will have twice as... (See the whole comment)

 CapitalismHarry Roolaart This Roolaart work is a masterpiece in digital art and juxtaposition. A gilded titan is featured in the center, draped in the U.S. flag (a symbol of the country as it can and should be), and holding up a gleaming dollar sign, the means toward his prominence. He seems to be poised to swing the sign forward, as if it would propel him onward in his en... (See the whole comment)

 HeroesBryan Larsen A father and son stand in the foreground, observing intently the launch of a rocket. The flames emitted from the spacecraft are depicted in their full brilliance, while the little boy holds his own model spacecraft close to him.

 The LacemakerJohannes Vermeer This painting depicts a woman diligently at work on her craft. Her eyes are entirely focused on the work of her hands, ensuring precision in an age not yet automated. Her elaborate hairdo and manner of dress suggest a general orderly disposition and a desire to bring structure to her surroundings. The accurate depictions of her fingers in action as...

 BB&T, Est. 1872Quent Cordair In this painting is a beautiful ultramodern skyscraper in the middle of farmland a small distance from a farm. It's the setting and placement of the office building that makes this painting so utopian, I think. Where's the infrastructure? How do the people get to work? Well, maybe they fly there or teleport there, or something, but wouldn't it ... (See the whole comment)

 When Pigs FlyBosch Fawstin This is a teaser for my next graphic novel titled The Infidel. The Infidel is about a counter jihadist cartoonist whose work gets on the radar of the enemy. It deals with how ideology can trump all other values in certain individuals, no matter their prior predisposition in life. It revolves around two estranged American born brothers from a Mus...

 The AstronomerJohannes Vermeer Vermeer's Astronomer depicts a man industriously concentrating on his studies, illuminated by a dim but warm light from the window facing him. As is his distinction, Vermeer instantly facilitates a focus of attention onto the central objects of his depiction, the astronomer, his books, and his globe. ... (See the whole comment)

 View of DelftJohannes Vermeer This Vermeer work is more macroscopic in scale than the majority of his paintings, yet still maintains Vermeer's mastery of depicting light and texture. One can vividly imagine oneself transported to Delft in Vermeer's day and standing upon the opposite shore of the river, looking onto the city and perceiving numerous layers of buildings and bridge...

 Oil Painting 26Alexei L. Antonov The fruits in this bowl are amazingly rich; one can see the sparkle of the dark grapes and the little droplets of moisture on the grapes and peach. The background is also appealing; it supplies a warm reddish light to further emfasize the fruits and their allure. ... (See the whole comment)

 CompositionBryan Larsen Next to a wide window that opens to a magnificent city view sits a thinker with pencil in hand. He has a satisfied smirk on his face, indicating that he has reached a crucial insight or produced a work of immense value. The viewer is not aware of the man's precise profession, but in this fact may be contained the message that such an attitude and s... (See the whole comment)

 AnchorageBryan Larsen In the construction of a massive bridge, two of the engineers stand atop one of the supports, looking over the building process in its entire expanse. This painting presents an impression of elevation and upward expansion, as well as a domineering glance onto the water and the landscape, which, in the distance, is dotted by further noble products o...

 The Weight of the World: Atlas in a New AgeDamon-Armand Heslington Denys A businessman reclines confidently on a windowsill and manipulates a toy-sized globe in his hand with an almost carefree ease. This is a demonstration of the empowering effects of technological progress on the Atlases of the world; no longer must they strain themselves to their limits in order to wield the colossal power that maintains the world in...

 The SoloistDamon-Armand Heslington Denys This work conveys an image of impressive elevation. The woman stands on an elegant, spotlessly polished marble balcony overlooking a richly detailed city far below. Her glance is firm, and her posture and composure indicate a fundamental comfort with being present at such heights. Her position may also be a statement regarding her musical talent an...

 Mile High Skyscraper: "The Illinois"Frank Lloyd Wright (I would like to give due credit to Mr. Philip Howison for referring me to this work in an earlier art discussion.) This full view of an immense building dwarfs the landscape and even the metropolis surrounding it. The building's faces reflect the sunlight with a golden glow and contribute to the purposeful, upward-striving angularity of thi... (See the whole comment)
