Don't really care for the realist stuff although I do admire the technical aspect. I've always liked the guy in the wheelchair who does photo-realist portraits.

I do like Ron English's work a lot, here's some below. Would he be considered realist?

P.B.; I own one of his astronaut pieces.

This one is called "1960"

Of course...He does awsome work Terence..Nice painting you own..although he may not paint from life..but He'll do..any others?............ P. S.......you mean "Chuck Close" Terence

Yes, Chuck Close...I like his stuff.

P.B. are the initials of the guy who painted "1960" he's an LA based artist. He paints astronauts, hockey players, bicyclists.

Not really my thing...but I have to say that my new favorite is here on AW. Gustavo Schmidt is absolutely brilliant! I am blown away by his oil work.
