Anton Arkhipov deeply layers canvasses with joyous human pursuits, humor, colors and meticulous detail. I like his work. He's earned every bit of his success to date, and is a new citizen of the US.

His work has been selected to help express the theme for the Taste of Vail celebration in Colorado, coming-up on April 11th-14th, 2007. The Vail event is a wine and art lover's benefit for charities.

Here's Arkhipov's website.
