<h2><center>Helpie's Fine Art Curation Report</center></h2>
<h3><center>*Week 4*</center></h3>
&nbsp;

<center>Hey Steemians, we are back with the 4th edition of @Helpie 's Fine Art Curation Report.    This will be a weekly report where we will feature some great content coming out of the Fine Art community. Our goal is to find those individuals that are producing quality content, and raise them up to help them grow. We will do this by featuring 4 talented Steemians and their posts each week. Also, because the goal is to help them grow on the platform, the rewards payout of this report will be paid to the featured artists. The idea is to find those hidden gems that are not getting the recognition they deserve, and lift them in any way we can.</center><center>What are we looking for?</center>&nbsp;

><center><em><strong>We are looking for great content! We want to reward those individuals that are taking their time and energy to add value to the platform through their high quality content. That’s it, think quality over quantity. We will be collecting them through the week and posting our top 4 here each Week.</strong></em></center>

<h2 ><center>Here are the artists in the spotlight for @Helpie 's 4th Fine Art Curation:</center></h2>


[<h3>*Original Painting "Fairy Motor"*</h3>](https://steemit.com/fineartnow/@rockykelley/original-painting-fairy-motor)@rockykelley

@rockykelley is another January addition to the platform who has gone basically unnoticed so far.  I know that will change soon, because great work can't hide for long.

 There is so much depth beauty and mystery in this painting, and I know this was a post from last week, but I just have to bring attention to this piece of art.  It really spoke to me.  So, stop by and say hi to @rockykelley.

[<h3>*The Friends, an Oil Painting*</h3> ](https://steemit.com/artzone/@kathleenscarboro/the-friends-an-oil-painting)    @kathleenscarboro

@kathleenscarboro is a French Artist who joined us in January.  Her oil paintings are rich in color and depth of perception with overlays throughout her works.  This piece of work is composed beautifully with transition and radiation elements that whip and roll to carry you through composition. [Go view the full post](https://steemit.com/artzone/@kathleenscarboro/the-friends-an-oil-painting) which tells a warming story

<h3>*[Neyla - Hyperrealism - Artwork by Oender Tuerk Design --- ( En / De )](https://steemit.com/art/@oendertuerk/neyla-hyperrealism-artwork-by-oender-tuerk-design-en-de)*</h3> @oendertuerk

[![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcwDBRBW29jGdiRa2N7jxeMX6jFCCAukV6J2G5onAF5bB/image.png)](https://steemit.com/art/@oendertuerk/neyla-hyperrealism-artwork-by-oender-tuerk-design-en-de)

@oendertuerk is a German artist and reputable Steemian that brings us a great example of hyperrealism .  Yes that is a drawing, in case you were wondering but felt silly asking.  When I see this I know that @oendertuerk is a far more patient artist than I am.<hr/>

<h3>[*Freehand Drawing of "Woli Arole" (An Ever Cheerful Personality*)](https://steemit.com/slothicorn/@promisearts/freehand-drawing-of-woli-arole-an-ever-cheerful-personality)</h3>@promisearts

[![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWPTPyz9Pgd8avPgDwebs94RvRNPf2mmauZNtiuis8CUo/image.png)](https://steemit.com/slothicorn/@promisearts/freehand-drawing-of-woli-arole-an-ever-cheerful-personality)

@promiseart is a Nigerian Artist who joined us in March.  He also specializes in hyperrealism. I could write about it, but you should just go see it anyway and let it all sink in. While you are enjoying his artwork check out [the contest he has going](https://steemit.com/sketching-steemians/@promisearts/sketching-steemians-free-art-giveaway-contest) and maybe you can win a piece of art.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">I know you fine people will go show these great artists some love, and I don't just mean an up-vote or a re-steem, but a comment as well.  We know it is important to reach out and connect with the human on the other end of the great expanse and let them know our genuine thoughts and feelings.</h2>

<h2>Want to Get Curated?</h2>
<h3><em>What Are We Looking For?</em></h3>
If you want to get your art curated by Helpie then you need to keep these things in mind
<ul>
 	<li><strong><em>The ARTWORK YOU POST MUST BE YOUR OWN-  </em></strong>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>......I know how to use Google's Image Search.......Just putting that out there</em></h3>
</li>
 	<li><em><em><strong><strong style="font-style: normal;"><em>It must be clear that the artwork is your own</em></strong></strong></em></em>
<ul style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">
 	<li>If I find you have posted a really great piece of artwork, but when  I click on the post I can't tell if it is yours I'm probably not going to stay very long.  I'm not saying that you have to write a book about the art you post, but a quick exclamation of ownership and maybe a short backstory.  The problem is that there are just too many people out there sharing other people's art and just saying a few words without giving any credit to the artist for the image they are using.  It is just too difficult to sort through all of it all the time.</li>
</ul>
</li>
 	<li><strong>Extra Points for showing your process- </strong>Not only does it make it easier to verify the work is original, I am also very intrigued by watching the process of other artists and I think it benefits the art community here on Steemit.</li>
 	<li>
<p style="display: inline !important;"><em><strong>No Digital Works, No Photography</strong> - </em>Nothing against the two.  That just isn't what this curation is about.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong><em>Do You Know an Artist That Deserves More Attention?  If So Drop Their Name in the Comments. We Love Finding New Talented Steemians Here at Helpie!</em></strong></h2>
