5 Painters That Inspire Me

A Feast For The Eyes

Once upon a time I was an Art Major who liked to paint. I was never going to be amazing at it, but I really did enjoy it. Mixing the colors, layering the details… hours could pass without me noticing at all.

For me, I’ve always been drawn to paintings that illicit an emotional response. In fact, I’d say that emotional connection tends to be my catnip when it comes to engaging with someone’s artwork, period. If I don’t feel something, no matter how good it is, I just can’t manage to value it at the same level as something that blows me a kiss and then punches me in the gut.

Here are 5 painters that stir something inside of me.

1. J.M.W. Turner

   

2. Georgia O’Keefe
