Mark Bradley Schwartz Art
American, b. 1982
Mark Bradley Schwartz is a contemporary American realist painter who specializes in figurative works and still lifes. Originally from Illinois, he transitioned from a successful career in graphic design and art direction to fine art, seeking greater personal fulfillment through creative expression. Schwartz received his formal training at the California Art Institute under illustrator Glen Orbik, whose teachings on shape, value, and edge significantly influenced his artistic development. His technical approach balances accurate drawing with expressive brushwork, drawing inspiration from masters like John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn, and Nicolai Fechin. Working primarily in oils, charcoal, and graphite, Schwartz creates works characterized by subtle color harmonies and varied paint application techniques. After studying at the California Art Institute, he joined its faculty as an instructor until the school closed in 2014. Schwartz is represented by Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado, which has featured his work in both solo and group exhibitions since at least 2015.

"Cotton picker of Aurangabad, India" Oil Painting
By Suchitra Bhosle
Located in Denver, CO
Suchitra Bhosle's "Cotton picker of Aurangabad, India" is an original, hand made oil painting that depicts an Indian woman picking cotton.
About the Artist:

Aurel with a watermelon - Painting, Oil on canvas
Located in London, GB
Hemed’s paintings inhabit a space between realism and intimacy. Depicting contemplative male figures in moments of vulnerability, his work is marked by an emotional depth that resists easy categorisation. In this new series, the artist continues his exploration of masculinity, solitude, and interiority. Each composition invites viewers to pause and reflect, capturing transient gestures and expressions that suggest stories left untold.

Hercules Mourning the Death of his Cupbearer Hylas

Oil on canvas
Signed in red, l.l.
48 x 60 inches, canvas size

This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City.
“By his own account, the most ambitious work of Michallon’s career was a thirty-foot canvas depicting Noah’s Ark, which he exhibited in the Salon of 1875, where it went unmentioned by the critics. Preparatory work for this elaborate composition took him frequently to the Jardin des Plantes, where he made painstaking drawings and oil sketches of the animals on view. These studies were enthusiastically remarked upon by visitors to his studio, some of whom counseled him to give up history painting altogether and pursue the less dignified but presumably more lucrative career of animal painter. Following this advice, and profiting from the tremendous vogue in 1880s Europe for all things African...
