So, what this contest is all about? "Find ten post that you consider good art, that are 2 or less days old and put them in your post." You can learn more about the contest here: Eye of the Beholder - 15 SBD
Isn't this a great opportunity for a shout-out to all those artists we're following and supporting? Isn't this a great way to promote their work and help it reach out to more eyes? Tell me what those artists have that you consider special. What do you see in their work?
Enough babbling, here are my top 10 picks ;)
*Note: To see the artists' work go through the link provided next to their username. I did not place their pictures here as I didn't know if they would oppose to me doing so.
1. 
- Creature
A dark visual artist, with lots of "creepy" pieces of work that I simply love! It's one of my most recent discoveries. This one here is rather dark and luring at the same time, no?
2. 
- Protector of Dreams
A sketch by marvellous Sabina Nore. I love how she accompanies her work with quotes and excerpts. They all get you in the mood for some emotional rides. Her work is like getting lost in Fantasy Land! You can always check her official web page www.SabinaNore.com and consider giving her a follow here ;)
3. 
- Life Rose Up and Walked Away
Ok, this post is a little older than the contest instructions suggest, but that's the most recent work of hers. An amazing artist that used to work as a firefigther too (how wow is that?) has so many creative paintings to give us. Her work reminds me the colors of old religious paintings. It gives me the feeling of something from the past, fairytales and stories grandmothers used to tell their grandchildren, back then when times were still frugal, innocent, simpler... This painting speaks a whole story, don't you agree?
4. 
- What the?
This artist works a lot with the human body. Strong gestures, robust figures, nudity (warning for the ones of you who might find the naked body disturbing). This is his most recently finished painting. Can you feel the strength in his artwork? The intensity? As if it captures the move like a camera...

- Don't be so Blue: My Dada Drawing conversation
Sketches, watercolor, digital painting.
6. 
- Behind the Mystery Door
A fellow Greek steemian,
7. 
- Charcoal Experiments by @mariandavp
This beautiful and talented girl from Greece loves painting with markers and I love looking at her work! This post has a few of her experimentations with charcoal. To be more fair with her, check her blog and see the rest of her paintings. Colors, patterns and... stories.
8. 
- Something From Outer Space
Another one of my "recent" discoveries and a Steemit noob is
9. 
- Monument IV - original painting
What can I say about this artist? The fine details? The conceptions? The feelings?
10. 
- "Zoom in" - a closer look at the "Prima Ballerina"
Playful, crazy, witty and a lover of high heels ;) I love the details, the hard work and creativity. This post is just a tribute to the details of a painting he has shown us in the past. Follow him for more, Just watch the variety of frames Reinhard makes for his work and his technique on glass (hinterglass). His paintings, clever and full of life! BeScouted and Sola are the places to look for him (other than Steemit of course).
Thanks

Until my next post,
Steem on and keep smiling, people!
