"Portrait de Jeune Fille III" by Shan-Merry

I absolutely love Shan-Merry's use of watercolor in portraits.  The images are so graceful and beautiful but captivating.  All of his pieces have a beautiful subtlety about them, and they are just wonderful.  I actually bought a signed lithograph of one of his pieces a few years ago, and it's one of my most cherished possessions.

"Goofy" by Peter Max

To be honest, I wrote about this piece because I absolutely cannot stand Peter Max.  To me, his work looks like something my high school Graphic Design teacher would have gotten mad at me for making because I wasn't concentrating on the task at hand.  His use of color is random and arbitrary, and his subject matter is cliche.

Leon Rosenblatt "Coyote Mask"

Leon Rosenblatt (2009?)

This is a piece done by my uncle Leon.  He is currently being featured in a gallery in San Francisco.  The piece was done in graphite, and I absolutely love his attention to detail.
