Help finding an artist

[Garion]

I'm trying to find the name of a particular artist and figured there is a chance someone on ATOT might recognize the description and know who it is.

I've seen several pictures by this artist. The main subject seems to usually be a young woman in a very tranquil setting, dressed in filmy, light gauzy outfits. Enough to make a guy take notice, but still tasteful. There's typically a very detailed background, usually with mountains, etc. In one of the pics, the woman was reclining on some kind of lounge chair and on another she was on a swing. The paintings have a very light and airy feel, with lots of soft colors, a lot of greens and blues. In general, they would look find on the cover of a fantasy book.

It's not too much to go on, but I know that it's a well-know artist, I'm just drawing a blank on the name. TIA!

If I had to guess, I'd say older, but there really isn't a frame of reference. There's not much to date a painting of a girl on a swing with a mountain in the background, unfortunately.

Interesting work, but that's not it.

That painting is from the Romanticism movement, but the description above suggested that it could be Superealism, or Impressionism.

I personally think it could be the popular movement Imperssionism. (Monet/Manet/Degas)

[Edit]Just remembered it could also be from the Baroque era. (Rubens)

Similar, but this artist is less focused on the minute details as Kincaide. Somewhere between Kincaid and Monet.

Nope, none of those - The feel isn't like the old impressionists. Man, this is annoying. I should know who this is, but am just drawing a blank. It's one of those that you see at every poster store.

The erotic overtones and detail to the background suggest Bouguereau, but swinging girls aren't really neoclassical ...

AHA! Does she have red hair? John William Waterhouse.

Or any of the other Pre-Raphaelites: Leighton, Rossetti, Dicksee, Hacker, etc.

"Flaming June" is a classic from the period.
