Feast for the Senses

Most people do not associate photography with any of the senses but sight (unless of course you have a condition known as synaesthesia). But there is "looking" and then there is "seeing".

Blending of Art and Reality

This week I bought the current issue of "International Artist" magazine. Although I am constantly on the look out for artists and artwork that speak to me, I do tend to make most of my discoveries online. So when I found myself at Barnes and Noble I decided to treat myself to some eye candy that I could actually hold in my hand. The artwork featured on the cover, an oil painting by Serge Marshennikov, took my breath away. Ever since I can remember, I have been amazed by artists that can paint so realistically that you question whether you are
