    Would you like to select another one St. Lukes?

    No... go ahead and post. You got it fair and square. I just didn't notice the signature.

    Peter Doig

    At first I thought it was by Daniel Richter who employs a similar imagery and handling of paint.

    The next mystery painting:

    Well, that didn't take you long to figure out the Doig. It was an entirely random pick out of "The Essential Guide" book I purchased at the Art Institute a couple of months back.
    I will look into Richter.

    Our artist... as should be obvious... is a contemporary American. He has worked as both an illustrator and a fine artist, but his fine art paintings are infused with certain stylistic elements of illustration... especially a somewhat naive manner similar to the illustration of childrens books.

    Our artist was born in Louisiana and currently lives in California. He attended school in Louisiana as well as the San Francisco Art Institute and the
    California Institute of Art.

    I'm giving more clues than usual because I know this is a tough one.

    This is a tough one.
    I spent some time perusing "artisdaday" but no luck so far.

    Good Lord!!!
    OK, I believe I have it:

    David Mellon "Thistle"

    Other two paintings are "Funeral" and "Firefly"

    I need to take a breather and collect myself after that search.
    I'll have a painting soon.

    EDIT

    Here is the next challenge:

    Juan Gris - Flattery 1908 and Three Lamps 1910
    WOOT!

    At first, I thought that they were some rare Picassos, but then figured that they were probably from someone less popular from the same time period and style and native country.

    Next painting:

    Got it! Thomas Hill's Sugar Loaf Mountain.

    I'll post the next one in a moment.
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
