There’s a spot in me that wants to save everything, and I think that’s the level that Leah Rosenberg’s Paint Stacks resonates on most. (There’s also the fact that her inspiration is layer cake, which is its own separate level in my life.) Each piece is created by pouring acrylic paint into trays, allowing it to dry, then peeling it up and stacking with others. Each piece represents layers of piled up time, emotion, and memory.

The Daily Dish

Klari Reis is painting and sharing a petri dish every day for all of 2013 in The Daily Dish (she also did it in 2009). Reis creates each painting using reflective epoxy polymer, with the end result being very photorealistic. And if you think the paintings are good check out the names – titles like Moshing at a Pearl Jam Concert, Uma Thurman, and Eggplants in the Snow this project just gets better. Check in every day for the newest piece!

Jeremy Rabus

Jeremy Rabus‘s Prismatic series reminds me of deconstructed gemstones. These small, geometric, colorful acrylic paintings are inspired by the small stones and their sharp angles. I love how the color palette of each piece strays from the expected monochromatic hues and opts for something more dramatic instead.

Fangs

There’s something primal and beautiful about Corbett Sparks’ Fangs series of watercolors. Sparks focuses on the mouths of predators, capturing them in a moment of gaping rage/joy. You can purchase originals or prints in his Etsy shop.
