These untitled oil paintings are all by Brazilian artist Lucas Arruda. They're from his Deserto-Modelo series. If I showed these to my mother, she'd say, "Those aren't paintings. They're moods." She'd mean it as a compliment.

Alberto Ortego builds 3D models and then does 2D paintings of the sets. They're set in the 50s but I get a strong Raymond Carver vibe from them, especially High Noon (above).

Love these Rolling Pin Paintings by Daniel Eatock.
Looks like he also had an unusual Black Friday Sale where he offered up paintings via barter for items he would send you links to. I love unorthodox approaches to commerce. I missed out on them but am quite taken with this one from that series:

Nico Sawatzki's paintings manage to be both organic and industrial at the same time. I imagine that in person one would want to reach out and touch them.

Some beautiful new work from Keita Morimoto.
Morimoto has a new book out as well — might be Japan only. Their site is here. Morimoto studied at OCAD.
Gorgeous work from Phyllis Shafer.
"I believe that a kind of transcendental essence lies at the heart of all natural forms and objects."

If you've ever been in my home, you'll recognize these paintings, some of which I've owned for almost 30 years. They're all by Toronto artist, Dana Boettger.
Here's a shot of two of her works in my space. Unfortunately, I don't recall the name of the red one. The one on the right is Waiting, which is also pictured above.
Though her site hasn't been updated in some time, she attended my birthday party not too long ago and confirmed that she's still painting.
