(In case you are not a frequent reader of the Spanish side...)

Yesterday I just fell into a personal web page belonging to a painter specialized in mineral reproductions. Those are oils and many look really good. Enjoy.

Cheers!

This is very nice!

A school, at art history, we were talking about hyper-realism, which is so real, you can't distinguish it from a photo! So good to see a real example, from somthing I like!

Let's hope she keeps painting these lovely paintings!

Carly Waito is a woman, and I have written an article on her that has already been submitted for publication in Rocks and Minerals magazine. Yes, her work is superb.

The most recent editions of Photoshop and some of the earlier ones have a draw function, which enables you to render a photograph as if it were a “line drawing” and you can include “paint like” colours to make it like a portrait painting. Computer science has evolved so much over the last ten years that drawing is becoming obsolete. Again, an example of how science conquers art!

Science conquers art??? Science can be an art and art can be a science - they are not mutually exclusive concepts. In this case, science (and it's derivative, technology) have produced a tool that facilitates the creation of art.

Dear Jesse:

Jesse the only people who consider science an art are those who have never been scientists or perhaps scientists wanting to observe the social norms of political correctness. When you list all the attributes, that makes Physics and Chemistry for example pure sciences, art is not one of them. I have been involved in research, teaching and writing in the field of Physics and I can assure you that I and the vast majority of my peers, do not consider what we have done as art. The old saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so if you want to describe something as art go for it! In fact, artists owe more to science than science owes to art. Where would photography be without the laws of optics defined by Sir Isaac Newton or the technological advances in special glasses for use in the lenses or the microcomputer technology that turns a standard camera into a technological marvel! These days anyone who can put pencil to paper and do a reasonable drawing can call themselves an artist, scientists are not afforded such luxury.
