2. Nate Owens: Pigments of My Imagination

Seems like only yesterday when artist Nate Owens was featured on Illustration Pages. But can you believe it was back in August? Wow, time flies! Where did the summer go? Anyway, back in August we featured Nate's imagekind store where he sells prints of his illustrations and paintings. He also has a separate Zazzle store where he sells his art on mugs and t shirts. Fun!

3. Discover Endless Humor in the Paintings of Artist Nate Owens

The expressions on the faces of the characters in Nate Owens’ paintings are priceless – not to mention the situations he puts them in. His art has a Norman Rockwell feel to it. Wouldn’t you agree? There’s so much to look at in every painting – each with its own unique story to tell. He’s certainly an artist that loves what he does and is having a good time doing it. As you look through his art you’ll find that there’s also a serious side to Nate Owens, evident in many of his other beautifully rendered paintings. Whatever the subject matter, Nate Owens’ approach to painting is that of an exceptionally skilled craftsman on a noble quest to make us smile.

Nate Owens has been doing illustrations for publication and gallery art (oils, watercolors, acrylics, etc.) for years. His art has appeared on everything from bus benches to ads, magazine illustrations, TV spots and gift products like coffee mugs, shirts, greeting cards and wall decor prints.

5. Fine Artist, Painter Michael Orwick on Facebook

The atmospheric quality of Michael Orwick's paintings are so captivating you feel as though you can step right into his canvases.

 
 
In a traditional Impressionistic style Michael skillfully captures the complexities of light and shadow, creating scenes that are inviting, peaceful and serene. Michael Orwick's paintings bundle you like a protective blanket. It's as if he's holding out his hand to lead his viewers into a world of warmth and beauty.

 
In his painting above, A Far Off Singing (The Walk Home), you feel the urge to run across the beautifully rendered stone bridge, where light and shadow dance so gracefully, to meet up with the woman with the orange umbrella on the other side. How wonderful it would be to continue the journey singing alongside her in the countryside Michael has created. He's inviting you to do this. It's absolutely incredible how his paintings draw you in with the beginning of a story welcoming you to play out the rest.
