I think this Maxfield Parrish is called "Daydreaming" or "Daydream"...

Edit: Thank you Radish Rose...you're right, it's "Daybreak".

It was inspired by the landscapes found in New Hampshire and Vermont.
Mel Gibson's wife bought it in 2006 for 7.6 Million at Christie's Auction...and sold it in 2010 for 5.2 Million

This is one "Gnarly" tree...

Almost reminds me of one of Charles Gibson's "Gibson Girls"

"Show and Tell" by Cynthia von Buhler

I took this with my iPhone from the cover of my Communication Arts magazine so the quality isn't great but close enough.

I suspect the meaning of this has to do with Visual Arts Communications; locking audible expression (the lips) and unlocking visual expression (the eye) and unlocking emotional expression (the heart)

"A Daring Day"

I believe this was commissioned by the Sierra magazine for environmental
issues such as deforestation, fishing industry issues, air pollution, etc.
But I can't find my information I had, like the artist's name.
I'll come back if I find it in the foreseeable future.
