Well this topic has made me think and I can't seem to forget it.
I was on the web at one of my favorite sites (
http://www.artrenewal.org)
and ran into a article by this artist (
http://www.maureenhyde.com/)
Go to the paintings page and you will see 6 landscapes, 7 still lifes and 6 figurative and portraiture examples of her work. She seems rather good at all 3 to me.
