Description

If you like photo realism paintings, then Daniel Jackson is your man. His work is so technically superb, it's hard to believe they aren't photographs. Nicely composed and interesting subject matter make these desirable.

Another one of my favorites. Amy Bennett's paintings look like aerial phtographs of Mr. Rogers neighborhood but reveals a darker side to urban living. Fabulous pieces! Check them out.
