I recently chanced upon the art of Edward Lamson Henry who paints about early American life. I find the theme and his style very appealing...

Fantastic. Thanks.

Will Eisner's works has that lovely patina of age on them that I really love, and that black and white is so well done.

Here's a link to Australian (poster) artist Ken Taylor, whose works I worship. I wish I had the patience for all those clean lines.

I'd have to say my favorite is Ver Meer. There is another guy I like as much, I posted one of his paintings on facebook recently but I can't remember his name. Eugene something.

Ver Meer - wasn't the Milk Maid one of the more famous paintings by this Dutch Painter?

Johannes Vermeer, the 17th Century Dutch painter, best known for painting 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'. I love his work.
