Those are two pieces by Christian Ward, one of the new landscape painting trendees. Another one of them is Verne Dawson. I'm currently looking for my favourite painting of Ward's. I'll add Dawson's in a minute.

Those are Dawson's. He's a 42 year old American, perhaps the leader of the "Anti-Texters". These new landscape artists are "rebelling" against the text art and other "modern" art, such as Warhol and Emin, and other such trash.

There haven't always been evil people like Andy Warhol and Tracy Emin.
