When you were very young, did you ever yearn for a great big paintbox like this?

I remember wishing for a really big paintbox while using the piddly little 12 and 18 tablet jobs that were just [...]
Dutch artist Teun Hocks doesn’t cut corners. His striking images are carefully created using brushes and camera. No digital montage tricks: Hocks hand paints backdrops on which he then photographs himself in bizarre poses. His work exhibits a delightful sense of silliness. (Click to make bigger).

His work has a whiff of Réné Magritte, but [...]

The symbolist painter and etcher, Richard Müller, has provided the 8th in this series of snow scenes.
It’s a painting of his from the end of the Second World War.
The Dead Hare
The Hare represents Europe, the Jackdaw: Germany and the Magpie is Russia.
The symbolism in the image depends on the audience having knowledge of the contextual [...]
This is number seven in the seasonal series of snow scene themed posts. (Don’t try to say that with a mouthful of crackers.)

We’ve reached #6 in this round-up of seasonal snow scenes and we are still in middle Europe, this time in the company of the genre painter Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski. (1849 - 1915) His genre was definitely horses.
Riding Shotgun
The image below shows why the man on the back of the sledge was carrying a large [...]
