Ed Anderson is an animal artist, specializing in canine portraiture. He has been painting for more than twenty years. Ed states this about his art, “Most of my work has been in acrylic, which I enjoy for the detail I can achieve, but lately I have been experimenting in oil.

5th Place – Helis Podnek – “Our Entertainers”
no images were found |
Helis Podnek is an artist from Estonia where she grew up in a small village called Veskitaguse. Helis says this about her art, “As far as remember myself, I have always been drawing something. I draw everything I’m living through or wanted to experience, I draw what I dream about or what I’m so desperately missing. White surface and plain lines have an extraordinary power to enable the impossible into existence, and take the unconscious mind on a journey to the most mystical places, where no man has ever been before, and where the time does not matter. This is the art I always give a piece from my heart.” – www.helispodnek.com
6th Place – Adina Baker – “Gray Ghost”
As a girl, Adina drew horses in the margins of her school books, bedroom walls, even on her own palms. Adina states this about her art, “An early influence I still keep close at hand is a copy of George Stubbs’ Anatomy of the Horse, purchased for a dollar at a garage sale when I was in high school. Each work of art averages 400 hours. The signature true-black background is achieved by printing a black digital file on Hahnemuhle watercolor paper. The horse is then layered with watered acrylic and pastels, then finished with India ink and metallics using Radiograph technical pens.” www.adinabaker.com
