I spend a lot of time searching for new artists. Sometimes, I’m looking for inspiration and other times, I just want to be awed. Here are the artists whose work I thought was special in 2010 (in alphabetical order).
Alyssa Monks

Francoise Nielly
Untitled 596, 35.4 x 35.4 inches, oil on canvas (palette knife technique)
Istvan Sandorfi
Jeremy Geddes
