We truly love these paintings from Arnout van Albada (The Netherlands) who paints all kinds of still-life objects (oil on canvas). Putting them on our wishlist as we speak!

home

During his March 2013 visit to Minneapolis at the Walker Art Center, Amsterdam-based artist/designer Job Wouters – better known as Letman – created a hand-painted mural in the Walker lobby. Inspired by his own history in graffiti, as well as influences from Asian calligraphy to cowboy lettering, Wouters spelled out the word ‘HOME’ in pink, brown, and green.

Joel Penkman

this is what his website tells about Joel Penkman:

I love food, and I love to paint, so combining the two seemed like a good idea.

My compositions are simple still-life studies with clean backgrounds to make easier for individuals to make a connection. Food triggers memories and emotion, I like that people can bring something of themselves to the artworks. My favourite medium is egg tempera. It is very time consuming as I make the gesso to prepare my boards and grind my own paint to mix, but the results are worth it.

I was born in 1979 in New Zealand were I grew up. After finishing my degree in Graphic Design at Canterbury University's School of Fine Art, I moved to the UK where I have worked as a graphic designer and most recently a freelance designer and artist.

I hope my pictures will make people smile.

they certainly make us smile!!
