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. --- ## ["ATENEA"/Trial by Comics "Mythology"](https://steemit.com/trialbycomics/@akarantain/atenea-trial-by-comics-mythology) ***by @akarantain***

### My comment > Lovely colors and lines, and the subject matter is quite nice. I really enjoy that you included her owl in there and I feel like the thing could be the basis for some stained glass. ---- ## [Reptile eye - My semi digital drawing](https://steemit.com/drawing/@anonimous/reptile-eye-my-semi-digital-drawing) ***by @anonimous***

### My comment > What a cold reptilian gaze you gave us. Really nice use of varying the focus and adding highlights. ---- ## [🎨 Awaiting the Rebirth - original painting + process](https://steemit.com/artzone/@gric/awaiting-the-rebirth-original-painting-process) ***by @gric***

### My comment > What a nice melding of organic themes. I particularly like that they're fully grown and that their womb appears to be balanced on some sort of civilization. The little pops of color are quite nice, too. ---- ## And the favorite is... Some really nice contrasts and a very interesting theme have earned @gric a share of @steembasicincome.
