I already shared 37 Ultra Realistic Paintings by Alyssa Monks 3 days ago and one more here, I am very much interested to share his amazing works with you. I have collected around 30 Photorealist Paintings from Steve Mills for your inspiration. Born in in 1959 in Boston, MA, photorealist oil painter Steve Mills sold his first drawing at the age of 11 and has been selling ever since. Every child drew when young, though Mills requested a pencil over crayons to get better detail. This fascination with detail became his calling card. Influenced by the works of Andrew Wyeth, his early paintings consisted mostly of landscapes. After seeing the work of Richard Estes at a show in Boston, MA, Photorealism became his passion. Today his interests are somewhat varied though his main focus is on the “extraordinarily-ordinary”. ]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:19:08 -0600 http://developersniche.com/links/30-photorealist-paintings-from-steve-mills/forward/7593/ http://developersniche.com/links/introducing-a-series-on-portfolio-platform-reviews/forward/7560/ It’s a wonderful time to be a designer!
