One of my favorit artists...

... would definitely have to be Joseph Lorusso! I was lucky enough to take a workshop with Joe two years ago and he is not only a great artist but also the nicest and most modest guy you can imagine!
I love (or would that be l-u-r-v-e ?) his paintings, the color pallet and the slightly illustrative quality. But what really catches me every time is how his paintings are telling a story. You look at the old man drinking his coffee or the young couple in a restaurant and just wonder who they are, what their story is...

Not unlike with Karin's paintings....
