Tin Eye (1 Viewer)

Some time ago Ed posted some seacape pics for me, I wanted to find the artist, so I
came across this Tin Eye

if you use Google Chrome, it can be built into your right click.

A great way to see who is ripping off your art, or to find a source for an image you snagged but did not tag.

In this case it just took me to a bunch of Chinese repro sites, they all took the image for their painting factories and I still don't know who painted them. They are proving very instructive to me, and I really would like to find the artist. By now I can really tell who knows the water and who is a photo copy freak, this artist is so sensitive to the sea...if you happen to recognize it please let me know.

edit, haven't found a lot of images, for some good artists in the US....so probably hit or miss, but if they grow enough it might be useful

For the others it will be instructive to see where in the heck your images are

WOW!!! that's a fantastic painting.....mark

that tin eye looks very interesting (not to police anything of my own- I would be thrilled to be ripped off) but to track where other images come from

the seascape- just possibly it is this fellah: the pale green in the wave tops is reminiscent of him (we don't get that colour in the sea off Suffolk as it is full of crumbling clayey sandy cliffs)

I recognise this as part of a painting and I will have to dig around to see if I can find the original source.

It could well be from one of of David James Seascape/Breaking Waves pics, an English artist painting between 1853-1904.

He was a master at this type of work.

thank you all so much , I'll follow up on those links

edit, no none of those, but sure enjoyed David James. By now I've studied this painting enough to read his strokes like handwriting, and I'm learning a lot about values from him or her
Oddly I've not come across any historical seascape painters who are women, and dam few contemporary ones, odd genre for a woman for some reason?

this painter is modern I think as his strokes are quite clean and broad in a way I've not seen in any historical art. Anyone else have some ideas?

It's a cracking painting this, Colleen - and I agree it does have a modern feel to it. And only because he's perhaps my all-time favourite landscape and seascape artist, I'll pop this up here (I know you've seen it before in another place).

super Tim, always love to see another artist's seascapes esp the older masters.
