Pop Goes the Artist!

Some of the art-related blogs I read:
Your Daily Art: Features an (almost) daily painting with a little bit of background on the artist, painting, or time period.  They show a pretty nice range of work: today’s painting is by Giotto di Bondone, an Italian Renaissance artist, yesterday was James Abbott McNeill Whistler, and Monday was Picasso.

The Art News Blog: Pretty much exactly what the title implies–a frequently updated blog of news, both quirky and mainstream, from the wild and wonderful world of art.

Danny Gregory: Vibrant watercolor and pen drawings, plus the coolest masthead ever.  Just started reading this one a few weeks ago.

Laurelines: Almost daily colored pencil and watercolor sketches.  Every month she picks a different theme–animals, outdoor scenes, food, etc.  This month, she’s living and sketching in Paris–lucky!

m.Lee Fine Art: I found this blog through WetCanvas.  She does really unique monotype woodcuts–layering multiple colors and multiple blocks to produce some really lovely images.  I particularly like some of her older work involving tree images.

A Painting A Day: The artist whose blog this is has actually scaled back a little bit and is instead posting a painting every few days, but the blog is still worthwhile.  He does beautiful postcard-sized oil paintings, mostly still lifes.  Inspiring and also a little humbling–I can’t even manage to sketch every day and he does finished paintings.

Enjoy–and if you have any favorite art blogs, mention them in the comments so I can check them out!
