I’ve seen some of Stella Im Hultberg’s paintings for “Raveled” and find it interesting that she titles her paintings after songs.

Provocative and mind blowing pieces of art! I must say, a treat for the eyes.

Nice paintings!!!!…I really impressed with all painting and they are really mind blowing. Some are so realistic that they force to create a story in mind. I am a great fan of Maria Mikulasova paintings, that are so natural and creative.

You have some eclectic taste. The works of Elizabeth McGrath grabbed me for their cutesy but twisted look. Also Andrea Canalito’s work had the same reaction. A deer coming out of a cupcake? Weird. But awesome. I liked Noumeda Carbone’s The Garden work. Had a nice cryptic and gothic feeling.
