WOW Roger,

What a great topic! Just wonderful.

I love The Lovers too, a great choice.

I will think of a favorite of mine to post.

Thanks for a fabulous treat.

Kathleen,

That guy could paint ladies.

There are so many great images of his online but his ladies are the best.

Look at these children.

Such sweet feeling and understanding.

Great portrait artist.

Roger

Hi Roger,

This is Pinkie (painted by Thomas Lawrence in 1794)

My parents have had a copy of "Pinkie" on their livingroom wall since I was a kid (not with Blue Boy) I always liked looking at her to see if there's a resemblance.

Hi Roger,

Sorry I goofed again. If I would read what you said, oh well, look over me ok
Here is a painting I have hanging in the center of my house,




This painting means patience to me. The door with no handle. You must open up yourself to receive what The Father is offering you. The colors are of light, which presents the warmth.

Hi Roger!

Like always, great idea!

Here is my contribution:

Chilean-born artist Roberto Matta was an international figure whose worldview represented a synthesis of European, American and Latin American cultures. As a member of the Surrealist movement and an early mentor to several Abstract Expressionists, Matta broke with both groups to pursue a highly personal artistic vision. His mature work blended abstraction, figuration and multi-dimensional spaces into complex, cosmic landscapes. Matta's long and prolific career was defined by a strong social conscience and an intense exploration of the his internal and external worlds.

Dear Roger and friends,

This is one of my best favorites ever. So far I have not been able to think of only one best favorite, sorry (you may click on the image to enlarge it).

Hugs,

Miguel
