I really love Marci Oleszkiewicz's work.I think that you will too!
She teaches at the Palette and Chisel in Chicago.
The Zoll Studio, located in Towson, Maryland, is Matt Zoll's creation.Matt Zoll is super cool.
The painting style tends to be tight.

The Schuler School of Fine Arts is the soul of Realism in Baltimore.Ann Schuler, now 90 years old, has been instructing artists for over fifty years.
I am proud to be one of the School's few graduates.
Other graduates include: John Brandon Sills, Will Wilson, Jorge Alberto,
Scott Royston, Carol Thompson, Matt Zoll, Mark Hiles, Dean Larson, Barbara Curran,
Joan Johnson, Judith Davis, and Christine Merrill
It is a four year program of:
Drawing from the cast, oil portraiture, watercolor, oil still life, artistic anatomy, figure drawing, and sculpture.
Grace Kim was in my class at Schulers. She left after two years.She paints beautifully and works harder than anyone I know.
Her website is a feast for the eyes, if you like magnolia blossoms.
Kelly Brooks was also in my class at Schulers. She left after two years.Her landscapes are awesome, and she strongly rivals Grace in work habits.
Will Wilson graduated from Schulers before I arrived there.He is an amazing painter of still life and portraiture.
His paintings are powerful expressions of his dreamlife.
Anthony Waichulis studied at Schuler's before I arrived.He paints paper money so it looks real.
The website shows his work, and the work of his phenomenal students.
Plan to be awed.
Jacob Collins is a huge part of the Realism School in New York City. 
John Pence's beautiful gallery includes many of my favorite artists.
