Enough about me
'What the Thunder Said' by Ramiro. Oil on linen, 31.5 x 75 in, 2004.
Lets talk about some other people for a change. These are other websites I have bookmarked. To be honest I don’t spend a great deal of time trawling the web for art, so most of these are people I’ve heard of through word of mouth or know personally. My list is heavily weighted in favor of blogs as I’ve been looking for other good painter-blogs for inspiration.
- Painting Perceptions. I just discovered this blog today. It discusses a lot of the ideas that I think about while painting.
- Angel Ramiro Sanchez. My neighbor’s fancy new website (also the author of the painting above).
- Grand Central Academy Blog.
- Natural Pigments Blog.
- Jeremy Lipking’s Blog. Angelino painter’s blog, I’ve seen a couple of his shows at the Arcadia Gallery.

- Nokia n82 Blog. My current gadget of choice.
- Reddit. Whats new online.
Feel free to add any links worth looking at in the comments.
Well, we seem to look at lot of the same sites.
I did not know you fixed computers, interesting sideline for a painter.
A great collection of links. One site worth looking at is Peter Brown…

I happened to note there were no female painters listed among your links.
Despite this, I find your blog a wealth of wonderful information, and I thank you for it.
True, sorry for the omission. Two of the best painters to come out of the schools in Florence are Elena Arcangeli (whose work you can see here and here) and Daniela Astone, who also doesn’t have a website, but you can see her work here.
Ahhh, they are wonderful too! Thanks for adding their links.
I wish all this beautiful art could be uploaded at much higher resolution – I wish I could see infinite detail, brush stokes, texture, etc, especially the Russian work you just posted. I suppose I shall have to see them in person one day!
