    … to hang up somewhere in your home, which ones would you choose? You can’t turn around and sell them or profit from them in any way. They are just yours to admire.

        Against the gods, By Frazetta.

        "no no! You are doing it all wrong, in the internet we are supposed to be stubborn, inflexible and arrogant. One cannot simply be suddenly reasonable and reflexive in the internet, that breaks years of internet tradition as a medium of anger, arrogance, bigotry and self entitlement. Damm these internet newcomers being nice to to others!!!"

            Poppies By Fantin-Latour


            Lifeboat by Bo Bartlett


            Cèzanne : Still Life With Commode

            These are not my three favorite paintings.
            But of all my favorites, these are three….

                This is a tough question to answer, as there are just too many I admire and would love to own (most likely in my dreams) but I’ve managed to come up with three which are all subject to change. In no particular order:

                -Self Portrait at the age of 63 by Rembrandt

                -Cenotaph to the memory of Sir Joshua Reynolds by John Constable

                -Virginia Woolf by Vanessa Bell

                    Could change every day – but if i force myself to decide now then ….
                    Turner

                    Church

                    Sargent

                    #642143

                    That is a tough question… But I do own two of my all time favorite paintings already by Direk Kingnok of a vw repair shop and two amazing work by my friend Mitchell Poor, so I am thrilled with my art collection.

                    My wife wins for creativity. Her answer… “the Sistine chapel”😂😂😂

                        This is a very good question. :wave:
                        I would pick:
                        1 – The mona lisa by Da Vinci.
                        2- Van Gogh’s starry night (dunno if I got the name right).
                        3- the Last supper by Da Vinci.

                        there it is !!!
