Painters Painting.....

Updated: Oct 22, 2021

Recently I have been focusing heavily on painting and am experimenting a lot with new materials, techniques and subject matter.

This is a brief list of painters who are of interest to me for aesthetic, thematic or technical reasons but that I have not investigated much further.

This post is an ongoing live collection, a place where I can keep record of interesting art as it comes in and out of my field of influence.
