Artist Gill Bustamante who is based in Sussex, England, is the creator of large-scale, ethereal landscape oil paintings. Working with a vibrant color palette, she described her style as "a fusion of Expressionist, Impressionist, Semi-abstract, Art Deco, a little Art Nouveau and whatever mood I'm in that day." Sounds like a true artist.
So, what inspires her? "...the patterns of nature and the energy, colors, and spaces of the landscapes and animals" that are around her. And wow, are we glad that is what gives her the inspiration for such gorgeous paintings!
If you're amazed by Bustamante's paintings, then make sure to check her out on Etsy and Saatchi Art.

Remember those days of just nap times and finger painting when you were a kid? Ya, we don't either. But Iris Scott is about to change all of that! Not only is she out to prove that not only children can enjoy the fun art activity but, also a viable way to produce stunning works of art! For years, the Brooklyn-based creative has broken the barrier between herself and the canvas by creating elaborate, colorful paintings using her hand in place of a brush!
Iris Scott's book, Finger Painting Weekend Workshop, invites anyone to try this type of Impressionist art.

American painter and illustrator Danial Ryan is far more obsessed with cats than the average kitty fanatic. They play a lead role in his artistic creations. Using acrylic paint on canvas, Ryan portrays our feline friends in a variety of surreal, absurd and often bizarre scenarios from his studio in Tampa Florida.

Whoa, A guy could get hurt out here. I'm going to make like a drum and beat it.
Apparently, even angels get constipated.
