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. Anyone else want to share their favorite?

Mine? Oh, too many favorites to show, really. 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.

They say art is supposed to move you. When I was in college, there was a painting titled "Pink panties on grey carpet" hanging in the student union. Maybe 6' by 6'.
It was hawt. Still brings back fond memories.

About anything done by Bev Doolittle.

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.

Utah that stuff has always been intriguing. More so to me that it often resembles what you see in Egypt. IE same art style at least similar to my eyes.

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 Ed

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:

Some nice stuff - artists I never heard of before. I remember being in a gallery up in Vermont in the early 80s. 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.

Paintings by Whistler, particularly his nocturnes.
Sculptures by Michaelangelo, mainly Pieta and his unfinished works.

Not the best picture of a picture but it's been hanging in my living room for the last seven years. Done by a local artist named Don Miller. All that area is now apple orchards. Shifting Elements
