Peter Vink is a New Zealand artist from my hometown Wellington, I absolutely LOVE his paintings. They capture New Zealands scenery so well and they look so real.

A lot of my favorites have already been named (Rembrandt, De Kooning, Bacon, Goya, Vermeer, etc.), but to add some newer names:

Terry Winters:

I attend art school and am pursuing a fine arts degree, so I am constantly around a lot of art which is great. But I must say seeing some of the stuff that people produce for critiques is amazing, plus some teachers work, and they are always bring in books of differnet so its a great to see all this different art. But for big artists Peter Bruegel, Monet, Paul Klee, Sergent, too many to name.
