List 6: Top 30 Favorite Artists

These have been my favorites over the years.  Some I have been lucky enough to know and some even study under.  If you haven't heard of them, Google them and enjoy.  If you scroll down to the bottom, there are images by each artist for your sampling pleasure* with the artist name and piece title (if I had it) listed below them.  As always, in no particular order...
