J9withdogs Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Who has inspired /amused/amazed you? My favourite artist is Tamara de Lempicka. I went to see a fantastic exhibition of her work at the Royal Academy in London a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John H Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My favourite is Canaletto. I love Italy in general and I think that some of his paintings of Venice absolutely wonderful. I've never seen any of your favourite Janine but she looks very good. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My favourite artist I supose is Thorburn, O.K. I know he's a bit 'country pub' but I like his studies of wildlife, we have a large print of 'The Bridle Path' and several smaller prints of his works, but my favorite painting is one by J Whitehand, the old Boscastle harbour master, most of his paintings where of Yachts but in his gallery there was one of a 'magical' wooded valley, a simple work I guess but as soon as I saw it I was entranced and I've been the proud owner for nearly 30years.

Tony Jones Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 That's make a good avatar for your Janine! We just discovered a painter called Glen Scouller. Found one of his in a local gallery reduced from £400-odd to £75, bought it 'cos we liked it, and only later discovered that his stuff often goes for thousands. The one we bought is a watercolour, of the same scene as this oil painting: http://www.lemonstreetgallery.co.uk/artists/scouller/scouller_C13_church_lg.html Title of ours is just "Church - circling doves," but this other one identifies the location so we'll probably go and have a look while we're down there in April.

CliveH Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Augustus John is one of mine. His portrait "Colonel TE Lawrence" is superb and his "woman smiling" always makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
