My sister did this watercolor before she was killed. ![[Linked Image]](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f46/DanChamberlain/IMG_0201.jpg) Sorry to hear that. She was very, very talented.

I think my taste runs similar to that of Ed, we have a number of Bev Doolittles hanging in the house to include Eagle Heart, Prayer for the Wild Thing, and Two More Indian Horses (set of 3 prints). We have a few more prints hanging, but on of my other favorite artist is Maija. We have Feline Mischief hanging in the living room also. Although her name may not be a household word, you've probably seen her work. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o789/akbob5/4419040ea9cbd2011a3396310260e8cc_zpsfe7ddf92.jpg) Bob

About anything done by Bev Doolittle. 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 Another Bev Doolittle fan here. I have "Doubleback" and "Hide and Seek". My mom and dad have a bunch of her stuff. Ed

Being in the Corps I had several occasions to view Charles Waterhouse's original paintings in person.
I also like good nautical themes and have several reprints of the legendary British maritime artist Montague Dawson.

Any of
Charley Russell's but some of Samo's photo work is quite epic however.
But what do I know, I still want to SF Maria Osborne!
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I think everyone in Montana is a Russell fan but I also like oils done by Leonard Lopp. Most of which were done in and around Glacier Park. His work is distinct and I can spot them a mile away.
Pencil sketches by Don Greytak are another favorite of mine that depict a rural way of life that anyone who grew up on a farm or ranch can relate to.

I really like this picture of this young Crow Indian lady that was in the local news rag today. Earned the title of Miss Indian Rodeo 2014. ![[Linked Image]](http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg172/icrums/528575b210ebd_zps5035520b.jpg) And this one of the same girl. Beautiful! ![[Linked Image]](http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg172/icrums/528575b1afaf7_zps085de35d.jpg)
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

If you have never been to Italy, you haven't seen the most beautiful creations by man. Michelangelo was not only a sculptor, and artist, but also an architect. The Sistine chapel, as Steelhead posted, is a most awe inspiring sight. Pictures can not do it justice. To stand at the feet of the statue of David will leave you breathless. However, on this side of the pond, I am in agreement with mtcurman, Charlie Russel has no equal... ![[Linked Image]](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eqNEGuiQLRE/TcFOi9ebTtI/AAAAAAAAFJE/GG8NnguaaAE/s1600/Sistine+Chapel+Ceiling+and+Altar+Wall.jpg) Anything by Charlie Russell... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/mtncurman/sagsprt1_zpsa14bd403.gif) ![[Linked Image]](https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/988294_615533385157998_1434414558_n.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.1artclub.com/uploads/30-0020.jpg)

I am very fond of much of what Todd L.W. Doney does.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

My favorite work of art is The Lords creation at sunrise on a cold frosty morning during deer season.

It's hanging in my living room now - it's by Joh Singer Sargent. ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w105/LTROADGLIDE/sargent-.jpg) One of the finest painters, American or otherwise, to ever pick up a brush. The man might have had oil in his veins. Ive always liked that painting as well...

I'm no lover of fine art, although I do enjoy some of the finer tangible things in life - coffee, steak, cigars, etc. However, I do have a few favorite paintings. 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. ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w105/LTROADGLIDE/DOGS.jpg) Anyone else want to share their favorite? I have one similar to to yours hanging above my desk. I like it for the artist's ability to update the best of the old masters with a pre-raphaelite romanticism combined with a post-modern nihilistic view of eternity and the place of man's best friend in that universe. ![[Linked Image]](http://aberrantart.com/product_images/large/C147DogstoHell800.jpg) I replace it with this one during the Christmas season. ![[Linked Image]](http://aberrantart.com/product_images/large/Damn450.jpg)
