Whos' your favorite painter? What's your favorite artistic style?
I love Baroque. That's the Golden Age of painting in my book. And I find no better expression of that then in the Dutch Masters. Rembrandt and Vermeer are among the best.
I also like impressionism. Van Gogh (post, I know), Monet, Renoir. "Starry Night" is my all-time favorite. I love the Houses of Parliament on the Thames too.
I am blessed to live and work near the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. I can view many great works on my lunch hour. I have visited the Metropolitan in NYC and the British Museum in London too. Nowadays one can see it all online too. I hope to visit the National Portrait Gallery in Scotland one day.
