Inspiration and Painting Progress

I'm in the middle of a new painting right now, tentatively titled, "A Boundary, Not A Thing". Here's some of the art I've been browsing in books and online for inspiration and to reference for the new painting:

Hello Nathan,
Just visited your site and wanted to alert you that exhibition is misspelled on the right column. I liked your manhole picture and thought you might be interested in looking up work by Albert Pinkham Ryder, a famous "night" or nocturne painter from the last turn of the century. Also, Chicago's finest, Ivan Albright, was a very introspective painter.
My new website, http://rlcroft.com/, is now up and running. I hope you'll visit it and spread the word. My next ambitions include getting invited to museum exhibitions before I become a museum exhibition, getting represented before Social Security is my only income, and still somehow remaining relatively unknown. Tall orders for short times.
Until,
Robin

Thanks for the catch. I like your new site, and thanks for the recommendations as well. Good luck with your tall orders.
