Donna Sink, you should definitely check out the rest of her work, if you haven't/didn't, It's all pretty fantastic! Her profession is actually architecture.
I'll go off the board. Its a bit of a funny story.
My first year of university I was sorted randomly into a drawing studio. I wound up getting a relatively new adjunct/part-time teacher, who (in my opinion) ended up being the best instructor of that cohort studio. To this day I still think he has had a major influence on my work (this was when I was still deciding between majoring in fine art or architecture). He had just completed his MFA thesis focusing on abstraction in the rigidity of perspective laws in architectural representation. Loved it. Ended up giving me a lot of guidance in developing a portfolio to transfer to an architecture faculty. I should really get in touch to thank him again...
I would have to bring to Mention Georgia Okeeffe: She has a painting New Britain Museum of Art, View of the East River. I was looking at it a couple of weeks ago. Can't figure out how to post it but let your fingers do the walking.
I also saw an photo by Ansel Adams of a building on Cape Cod, which blew me away.
My younger brother also has a small painting he did years ago, that I always have to go back and revisit. I usually make him drag it out when I go visit him. There is something about it .....just a perfect village of forms.
This thread brings back memories of my undergrad and graduate days when I used painting as a form of design process. Strange that I found the time then when I had none to spare. I should really get back on those.

So many.
Rackstraw Downes was in residency in "untenanted spaces" at the World trade Center slightly before the 9/11 attacks. So gorgeous and now so poignant.
Ben Grasso fucking blows me away.
Maurice Utrillo, the French impressionist, painted mostly Parisian street scenes at the beginning of the 20 th century.
Bridge paintings by Laura Hamje.
Monet, particularly the Chartes Cathedral paintings.
Emily Gherhard. I consider these very architectural.
escher
One of my friends. Maja Wronska, also known as Takmaj online.

dekooning because he was a house painter.
OMG this thread just fills me with happy feelings. So much better than another thread asking us to identify the style of a house!
Yeah, but what style is that painting?

In addition to several of the above contributions, I like the work of Brodsky and Utkin.
This thread is like WOW.
Except for the photo-realistic stuff.

Is this it?
Jeremy Geddes...ridiculous painting, actually caught my attention....
Hockney is so good. captures the "modernism" the best of any artist imo.
