Despite my desperate desire to cling to the last remains of summer, I couldn’t help but fall for the winter landscapes of Julie Goulding.  I may feel differently come next February.

I’ve always struggled with capturing nature in a satisfactory way, but seeing others create fantastic landscapes gives me hope.  Bruce Everett for example manages to create paintings that explore the light, textures, and moods found in nature in a highly impressive manner.

Nicky Hoberman manages to create paintings that are both compelling and unsettling.  Her images of little girls, in particular, are disturbingly fascinating.  I recommend you check them out for yourself.

Simon Jensen’s paintings celebrate suburban living, which is not a sentiment I’m hearing too often these days.  I’m still fairly ambivalent about suburbia, but if it can inspire great art it can’t be all bad.

I’ve always loved the way the world changes depending on the quality of light in the sky, and Richard Herman does an amazing job of capturing everything nature has to offer, ranging from dusk to dawn.  You can find his site here, and his blog here.
