JACK VETTRIANO!!

*drools*

Jack Vettriano is by far my favorite painter on earth. His use of bold colors and perspective are absolutely brilliant. Mind you, I don't suggest ALL of his paintings, but the majority of them are incredible. I plan to have prints of many of his works in my house and in my book store one day. A few of my favorite are:

Dance Me to the End of Love:



The Singing Butler:



In Thoughts of You:



Altar of Memory:



And finally--

Back Where You Belong:

Leslie Harrison and Georgia O'Keefe.

Mary Cassatt and Leonardo DaVinci would probably be my favorites. I actually got to see a DaVinci painting at the Milwaukee Art Museum about a year ago, it was pretty amazing.

Mine are:
*Rembrandt
*Van Gogh
*Picasso
*Da Vinci
*Homer(as in Winslow)
*Rockwell

*Claude Monet
*Edward Hopper
*Henri Rousseau (About whom Joni Mitchell wrote the song "The Jungle Line")
(See below in order)
*Jack Vettriano (Thanks to Mangafanatic, who provided the awesome samples)

Here are the names of my most favored artists, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Jan Vermeer, and Diego Velázquez.
And though she has not been discovered yet, I am a big fan of the_lizardqueen’s art.

I like the art if Salvador Dali, especially his Melting Clocks. I also like M.C. Escher!

I don't believe in paint.

Well I know mangakas have done really nice water color paintings (like CLAMP^^)

But as for non-manga, I'm a Shim Shimmel fan cause I like the whole animals (mostly big cats) in space thing^^ Plus I just plain wuv kitties^^

Vincent Van Gogh is definitely my favorite. Also, I like Norman Rockwell...I love how his paintings portray life, and how intricate the details are! M.C. Escher is pretty cool, too, though.

John Howe and Alan Lee (also concept artist on Lord of the Rings) are some of my favourite, but there are others who I don't know their names.

BOB ROSS!!!!


" Happy Trees!!"

Sandro Botticelli is my favorite master, by far, but I love Georgia O'Keefe and Alfonse Mucha, too.

I LOVE the French Impressionists. Monet was amazing as was Renoir. When Monet started this era of painting with Impression Sunrise (something like that right?) It really opened up a new world of painting what you SEE. I have learned A LOT from them and I use them a lot when I explain the art elements and principles to friends. ^_^

Totally. I'm pretty sure he died, though. How sad. He always made everything look so simple. Some of my most fond childhood memories are of watching my mom attempt to follow his lead with me sitting on the couch behind her, dropping cinnamon cheerios in her paint. I called it improvement.
I'm not really impressed by a lot of the usuals. I rarely enjoy looking at a piece of art that a million other people have raved about. Kinda turns me off. I really enjoy paying visits to our local arts council and taking a peek. I love it to death when I find something that makes me want to touch it or makes me feel like there's nothing else in the room. So to all the folk artists without a fancy degree or public acclaim: rock onward.

Yeah, he was inspiring. He and his happy little trees. And the squirrel.

Turner
Rembrandt
Gustav Dore (not a painter)
Emily Carr
Tom Thompson (the other members of the Group of Seven aren't bad either)
Caravaggio

I also like some of Goya's work as well as Durer's

Caravaggio, mmm. I like him too. Nothing like some good chiaro scuro

Goya's work always makes me laugh; when I was in Art History I always got "2nd of May" mixed up and said "5th of May" instead.
