Recommended Artist: Francoise Nielly

  Francoise Nielly. A slightly odd spelling variant of both names, but still. Her art is really expressive with her employing bold colors and using what she calls a "palette knife" technique. She paints portraits, and paints them in high chroma.

  She was born in Marseille, brought up near Cannes and Saint-Tropez and is now living in Paris. She was taught by what she says to be a strict father who didn't allow any mistakes. This taught her the discipline and technical skill that she has today.

  Her website is beautifully designed. I am in love. See it via this link:
