Magic Moment, oil on canvas by John Brokenshire
I like the subtle movement and the fish-scale color palette.
You can find more paintings by John Brokenshire at the Cupola Gallery.
His personal website is here with even more complex, atmospheric paintings.

Exiled Stardust 
Spent half an hour wondering why this didn’t appear in my Reader, and then checked the date…
This is a bit weird: Cupola is one of our ‘local’ galleries, and Ian knows Karen, the owner, pretty well; quite a few T’Artists have shown there. I don’t know John, but know of him, and like his work very much.
Small, small world…
Really? It IS a small world. I like his work a lot, too.
