is having a 10 person chain feature. Unfortunately she doesn't have a subscription so has to use links, but it works if you make it, if I HAVE already featured you go sign up on her page. She still has spaces left.

I have signed up to do the 10 feature but don't much care to follow the rules. My feature is open to anyone who I have NOT featured before & I have already chosen the 1st 3 & with them I didn't stay within the confines of just 3 submissions.

Went to thank Ewa for the faves & noticed Emilio's name so went to go see his gallery & then got sidetracked. Am so far behind in my "thanks yous" had been managing to keep them under 200 but yesterday they were up around 500 & it is just daunting. It doesn't help that I am so easily distracted....... Go to thank one person end up browsing through several other galleries "oh a pretty picture" & forget all about the "Thank yous"....AAAAGH! Still just look at what I found. His work is so vibrant! I like the fact that he has very different styles going at once.

Peter has only been on dA for a very short time, so he doesn't have many faves or much of a following & from his comments he lives high up in the mountains & internet is not always possible. His paintings have a Jurassic quality about them...I see dinosaurs, I see wrinkled skin of elephants & manatees in his rock painting. He finds objects hiding in the rocks he harvest 7 lets them out for the world to see. Here is a soul deeply connected to the land he lives in.

This one is not much of a talker. My guess is he hasn't found the box that allows you to show your work without giving people the option to leave comments, or maybe he LIKES reading what people have to say about his art; in a way, they ARE like reviews, or maybe he just doesn't have time to comment. It happens! Still his art speaks for itself, or at least it should. The man has talent.

Now I was pretty sure I had featured Shimo before as I remembered her painting "The House on the Hill" & "Flower and a Butterfly", but then my mind has been pretty flighty so I thought maybe I just meant to feature her work. Was having problems seeing the larger photos in her "Early drawings painting" gallery or I would have included a few more from that section. Turns out she WAS featured along with some of the winning entries to Chris's International dA Art Exhibitition. She represented Egypt.Journal [link] But as that was a promotional journal I have gone ahead & included her here with the NEW finds. Her Bruge painting is perfection.

Now Jack's work also seems familiar... I believe I saw him featured on journal some time back. By the way..."Where is Pegs?...Is anyone keeping in touch with her?" Please note, Jack does NOT paint these, he uses colored polymer clays, therefor each color or variation of color you see was painstakingly put in place. His attention to shape & detail are just incredible.

Have found my next newest Artist feature...As a dog lover, she won me over with their soulful eyes. There's a certain whimsical style that comes though her art. Each photo & painting seems to be surrounded with a blanket of love. Painting that have not sold are marked with a price & these prices are more then reasonable, esp. considering they are ORIGINALS as oppose to prints!

Now Mary, is not new to dA she's been on here for 2 yrs. but her art is new to me. I came across her while I was thanking my friend for the faves. She doesn't have a huge gallery so it's easy to see it all in one glance. I fell in love with her Institutional Series. There is an air of oppression mixed with hope in these painting. Through the air of depression & decay, she manages to make the ordinary & the bleak look beautiful.
