To resurrect this thread, I have to add "painterly" to the list. I first heard it when flipping through the PBS channels a couple years ago, and stopped on a teach-anyone-to-paint program. The painter (I hesitate to say artist) described making a "painterly" sky. Since then, I've been hearing it more often, usually as a synonym for "beautiful" or to describe a scene as being worthy of a painting. It doesn't sound right! If it is in the current dictionaries, I'll choke.

I could really rant, but I don't want to seem rabid... this is only my second post.
