Howard Pyle is Awesome. Go Here.

Pyle was not only a marvelous painter, he was such a good teacher that his students were marvelous too -- some of them in my opinion surpassed him.

N.C. Wyeth is a particular favorite of mine, not only for his vigorous, beautifully composed illustrations, but for his less-known easel painting.
