Art Appreciation
By now, many of you know I enjoy realist painters; especially, if they incorporate a touch of surrealism in their work.
While surfing the art blogs, I came across F. Scott Hess' Floodplain. The painting depicts a woman giving birth in isolation in the pre-dawn hours. On a blanket over muddy ground, she sits in pain as she pulls her baby out of her.
F. Scott Hess was born in Baltimore in 1955. He is known for his realistic paintings that have been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. His paintings tell stories, and some of them can be a bit frightening or disturbing.
You can see more of his work HERE.
