I'm pretty partial to any Dali since I live down the street from a great museum dedicated to him,but long before I moved here I bought and had framed a print of a painting I love by Thomas Hart Benton named "Sources Of Country Music",which was the last one he finished before his death.
Ah, the innocence of childhood. These days, they’d be fiddling with the keys of their mobile phones, while staring at them vacantly.
I was amazed to discover a while ago what a great artist Ron is. He’s in the traditional style but is fantastic. I read that Tony Bennett is also a good portrait artist I think I read. Some of the other singers/ musicians do art in different styles as well.
I can’t think of the name of a painting but it have to be one by a pre- raphaelite artist. I also absolutely love the Italian Renaissance style painters but actually I love all art.
