GeneralMy favorite place on the internet for mineral art
2nd Dec 2008 20:31 UTCJustin Zzyzx Expert
My favorites are John Sinkankas and Wendell Wilson.
Those Wendell Wilson oil paintings are just TOO freaking amazing! I'd sell my soul off for that talent!
John Sinkankas, just beautiful. Painted as the specimen is in real life. That's what it is all about. My favorite!
Eberhard Equit, wow...the way he gets the detail in there with the combination of watercolors and colored pencil...amazing.
Rose Ann Fox...I'd like to publish the coloring book! Very cool illustrative images!
Susan Robinson...I love the way everything is done like a scene laid out before you. That Asbestos garnet is just too good.
So, what are your favorites?

I didn't get the artist gene like most of my family, but I still try with my cheap oils, $1 brushes and canvases.

Brandy is still very young, so we can expect lots more great stuff in future. Why isn't she listed on the Min Rec virtual art museum yet, or did I miss her?
Oh, I forgot Sarah Sudcowski's minerals with adorable naked fairies (the minerals can be very good too).

In the early '90's we had an office decorated with paintings based on the artist's impressions of macro and micro views of minerals. At that time she lived in Victoria, BC, but may have had plans to move to the Washington DC area. Her name is Wendy Luco (sp). If anybody knows her whereabouts, her work would be appreciated by anyone that likes a mix of art and minerals. I will see if I have any photos to post.
