Anything done by Winslow Homer.
Loving this one:
My father’s ship painting that I am still bitter that my brother has. 🙂
I heard that your brother passed another painting to you that you’d been bitter about and the bats stole it from your attic. Or something.
Eiffel Tower, suspension bridges, yellow moped next to a tree which had yellow leaves that looked awesome in B&W, skyscraper Tettris and the Native American Museum in Washington, D.C.
(I just can’t choose one.)
I know what you mean. We really do have a wealth of art to enjoy.
I like this one so much it’s in my bedroom …

I like a lot of Cabanel and the myth stuff that Waterhouse paints … I like a lot of single girl subject matter, or girls being “bad” you know like testing poisons on prisoners, and I don’t know what that says about me :0
However, this is the painting that always makes me smile

I just love the idea of it.
Godward was painting during the same time as one of my favorite Pre-Raphaelites, John Melhuish Strudwick.
The Cleopatra poisons painting–doesn’t surprise me a bit. You tend toward the dark side in your historical meanderings.
And the bears: WONDERFUL! It made me smile, too. Thanks.
My current favorite work of art is Norman Rockwell’s THANKSGIVING. It’s not a S.E.Post cover, but a large oil on canvas he painted in the early 40s in Italy.

I really enjoyed seeing that on your blog the other day. Thanks for sharing it here, too, in case some of my friends/readers would like to see it. It was new to me.
“The Wine Taster” which is not important enough for the British National Gallery to put on display. I’ve decided they keep it in a broom closet, and when someone says they really should sell the painting to a museum that doesn’t care it’s only in the *style* of Murillo, they pretend they can’t hear.
Whoops, “The Wine Drinker” not the Wine Taster. The link didn’t work. Hmm….http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/style-of-bartolome-esteban-murillo-a-young-man-drinking
