This one in particular was in my Uncle's den when I was growing up. I always thought it was a true masterpiece - a classic for the ages. Anyone else want to share their favorite? - Rogue

I have a couple of David Jacksons (one original oil and a signed print), a Beth Doolittle, a few oils by lesser-knowns, some sculpture, some duck stamp prints and originals, a signed National Geographic print... I like art. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Funny, wife loves that one too, has it framed in our house. I forget where, think its in teh game room, but we too have it hanging. Probably doesn't sit well with picasso folks, but makes her happy so who cares what others think.

IE same art style at least similar to my eyes. Jeff We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I have owned a number of her works and prefer the earlier ones. "On Sacred Ground" is hanging in my living room right now. "Christmas Day, Give Or Take A Week" is another of my favorites of hers. Almost anything by Brian Davis also gets my attention. Remember, these are paintings, not photograhs! LINK Ed Last edited by APDDSN0864; 11/13/13.

IE same art style at least similar to my eyes. Jeff they're similar but this work, in what's called the Barrier Canyon Style, dates as far back as 7,000-9,000 B.C. It actually pre-dates much of the Egyptian art. this is my favorite sub-panel the "ghost" is pretty cool too:

Wife said I stood in from of this picture for 45 minutes. I had no idea I was there that long. It's hanging in my living room now - it's by Joh Singer Sargent. - Rogue

Done by a local artist named Don Miller. All that area is now apple orchards. Shifting Elements I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.
