My favorite, of course was Leonardo Da Vinci. However, my current favorite is Thomas Kincade, and who can forget ol' Ross? (miss him!) I have even taken up oil painting, but I am FAR from being an overachiever! who is your favorite?

My favorite is Gerhard Merford. A well known 20th century painter in Europe. Most paintings are closeups of persons, ducklings or flowers. My parents have a beautiful painting in their livingroom since the fiftieth of the last century.
I tried to buy more paintings at ebay, but the price was too high.

Well among the classics I agree Leonardo Da Vinci is supreme. He was fantastic. Now among current artists my favorite is Jonathan Earl Bowser. He does some fabulous work. If you have not seen it you can do so at his website: http://www.jonathonart.com/intro.html But I've also included an image below of his work. I find his very fascinating to look at.

ok, to anyone reading this, click on that photo to blow it up, because it is pretty fantastic!


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)  5 years ago

That is one of my favorites by him. I'm glad you liked it. It's under the "Bradford" section on his site. The other paintings up there are beautiful as well. He has some real talent. I'd love to own some of his work.

Indeed I love the way he added photos within a photo. I have seen this with several artists, and I stand in awe. what creativity!


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)  5 years ago

He has some others like that in the Bradford area. If you get a chance take a look through his site. He has some amazing art work.

I will! writing his link down now,as a matter of fact!
oh, and BTW, have you seen that one child artist? she is 9 years old, and claims to be inspired by the creator?
akiana is her name, and she lives in idaho, I believe. OMG! this child would make you cry! She is considered an Indigo child, and of course, a prodigy.


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)  5 years ago

No I haven't but I'll see what I can do to find out about her :) Sounds like she'd be fascinating to see.


myLot reputation of 54/100. saralee1 (713)   ranked 2 out of 7 in oil painting  5 years ago

hey, I just followed that link, and I am soooo inspired to draw and paint now! I love his fantasy creations, I can tell he has women on his mind, LOL! haha!
I'd own any of his art in a heartbeat!


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)  5 years ago

You and me both. I actually have an dagger with one of his goddess works on the handle but that's about it that I have of his and that was a gift. I'd love some of his paintings.

Mine is Van Gogh.I art that is so powerful that is comes off the canvas and slaps you across the face and Vincent's work does that to me.My favorite is Wheat Field With Crows.It has such brilliant colors.


myLot reputation of 54/100. saralee1 (713)   ranked 2 out of 7 in oil painting  5 years ago

Absolutely! How could I forget Van Gogh? Brilliant the way he put his emotions into his paintings, I think. I always liked the one of his room, you know, the one above the bar, or even the bar scene. and who can forget starry nights? :)

Oh yes. Have you seen the movie Lust For Life? All of the paintings we are talking about are in the film.
