"Air Conditioning for Your Head"
I'm really starting to like Matt Elson's artwork. Though he offers conventional snow scenes, he tweaks the colors in some of them and transcends photorealism that way. His portraits are really, really strange and wonderful. Classically trained, he uses interesting techniques, such as photoshopping photographs to provide fresh inspiration for the paintings themselves.

Yeah, Sissy--I was actually thinking about that very painting when I wrote the post. Unfortunately, he doesn't have all his portraits up, though he's got one of those interesting "storm skiers" pictures.
Very smart to include a detail from the painting itself, so you can get an idea of what his brushwork is like.
