The Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Monica, CA has a great exhibition (Great American Figurative Artists 2010) with a good variety of figure paintings. Here are a few of my favorites:

Fongwei Liu, "Black Bandana"

Stan Moeller, "The Pool"

Mark Lague, "Walking In Winter"

Jacquelyn Bischak, "Zephyrus"

Hain Yao Tseng, "Keira"
