Thomas Ascott is a painter based in South Florida. Thomas explains his work by saying, “Inspiration, for me, is just my accumulated experiences, things I’ve seen, heard, touched and felt through my life, jumbled about in my mind and abused by time until they show up on a piece of paper. I would love to point to a sketchbook of ordered images that would tell this story, but, as often as not, the images are spit out on scraps of envelopes near a computer or a convenient napkin ringed with coffee. Growing up in East Tennessee, I spent a great deal of my childhood wandering through the Smokies, especially the Chimneys Picnic Grounds on the Little Pigeon River. I passed many hours of many summers scrambling over rocks in the middle of streams and exploring caves and trails. The Smoky Mountains and the Little Pigeon River are the internal background to almost all of my work. No matter what the central element of a piece may be, the natural flora and fauna of the Smokies creeps in, whether in the obvious form of a Smoky Mountain songbird or salamander, or in the less obvious form of rhododendron leaves and lichen-covered boulders.”

Wilhelm Ferdinand Bendz Danish painter mainly known for genre works and portrait which often portray his artist colleagues and their daily lives. He was one of the most talented artists in the successful generation of painters who studied under Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg but died early and has therefore left a relatively small oeuvre. He attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1820 to 1825, where he studied under Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg. In 1825 he made an unsuccessful attempt to win the gold medal, only given to history paintings, the most prestigious genre at that time, and after that decided to specialize in portraits and genre works. After graduation, Bendz contributed successfully with a number of works to the annual exhibitions at Charlottenborg. Three of his paintings were acquired by the Royal Painting Collection; Model Class at the Art Academy and A Young artist looking at a sketch through a mirror from 1826 and the monumentally sized A sculptor working with a live model from 1827 and A Tobacco Party from 1828. After this Bendz was emploed as an assistant at Eckersberg's studio, working on routine assignments. In late 1830 Bendz finally received a travel scholarship which enabled him to leave for southern Europe which was considered a crucial part of an art education . After shorter visits to Dresden and Berlin, he went to Munich, which had developed into a vibrant centre for the arts, and where he stayed for around a year. His most important work from the stay is the thoroughly composed group portrait "Artist in the Evening at Finck's Coffee House in Munich". In the autumn of 1832 he continued his journey towards Rome, stopping in Venice on the way where he reunited with Ditlev Blunck, a friend and fellow painter from his student days at the Academy in Copenhagen. Shortly after, in Vicenza, Bendz who had felt ill since Venice died from a lung infection at age 28. Today he is mainly remembered for his many technically accomplished portraits, though his ambition most of all ran towards a refined fusion of portrait, genre scene and allegorical history painting. His technical virtuosity is particularly visible in his depictions of the play of light cast from an obscured source and the resulting shadows.
