Here's three recent art posts I've enjoyed. More info on why I'm doing this in my not-yet-written #introduceyourself post. In the meantime, just know that I'm doing this to both improve my life by learning to better appreciate art and to encourage good visual art here by promoting my 3 recent favorite pieces and sponsoring one of them for a share in #steembasicincome. --- ## [PRAY MADNESS , EFECTO OPACO CON MEDIBANG PAINT PRO](https://steemit.com/slothicorn/@thewrinttesalt/pray-madness-efecto-opaco-con-medibang-paint-pro) ***by @thewrinttesalt***

### My comment > The amount of menace you've managed to convey by focusing on just a small detail is wonderful. ---- ## [🎨 Drawing ✏ "Vampire Girl" 🎨 by @rizada](https://steemit.com/art/@rizada/drawing-vampire-girl-by-rizada) ***by @rizada***

### My comment > The muted colors and pose in this are great enough, but the eye is extraordinary. Very spooky while still conveying a whole range of emotion. ---- ## [⭐️Italent round 8 entry: Yin and yang sunrise sunset timelapse oil painting](https://steemit.com/italent/@errymil/italent-round-8-entry-yin-and-yang-sunrise-sunset-timelapse-oil-painting) ***by @errymil***

### My comment > A lot of people get the contrast thing with yin and yang, and that's certainly present here. What they sometimes miss is the interconnectedness, and I really like how you have it here in the physical connections in the sky and water as well as thematically related, but different, components on either side. Gorgeous oils, too. ---- ## And the favorite is... One thing which fascinates me is how a suggestion can be more evocative than a reveal. @thewrinttesalt's piece is fairly minimal and all the more menacing for it. Congratulations on your share of @steembasicincome. I've been discovering more and more art that needs showing, but at 3 pieces/per day some of the featured posts are going to be beyond the 7-day payout period. I strongly encourage you to find the artist's main page and upvote one of their more recent works or comments. Without support, art withers. Without art, life is dull.
