I didn't start appreciating art until I made it a point to visit all the museums in NYC. As far as classical art, I do like VanGogh's "Cafe Terrace at Night," but am more partial to Monet, just for the simple fact that my eyes are drawn more to the bolder colors and less abstract lines of his work. ![]() imagecache2.allposters.com/images/MCG/LF18.jpg[/img] I always liked Dali's art, Pink Pants. He's one of the artists I always sought out at the museums. Some of his work is really strange, (like a horse pelvis on stilts. or like half an ass in a cloud?  ) but definitely original. I always liked "Persistence of Memory." I also like MC Escher's drawings and Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture. Ron DiCianni is a great modern religious art depicter if you're into that. The only real oil on canvas painting I have so far is one I bought at an art auction and is by Thomas Kinkade. He's a little played out, but I love it. |

I'm telling you these are both vaginas, not flowers. Georgia O'Keefe likes the ladies.  VAGINA  VAGINA |

Im big into all different kinds of art. I really like the weird/darker kind of stuff. The stuff that makes people think twice about you when seeing it. They think you are very nice, sweet, whatever...and then they see a painting of a figurine child being broken and they are like "is she really who she says she is?"...i like that.
But I like Van Gogh and Monet.
I really like photographs and just cool images.

LOVE Georgia O'keefe. not only her vagina stuff - which is well-known for being depictions of vaginas, not just a theory - but her other portraits of the Southwest.

Can I be like 98% of the world and like The Great Wave? Thanks.  And lemme tell you something, the first time I saw Oath of the Horatii, I piddled my pants.  And Death of Socrates? I shit.  Finally, I've eaten The Old Guitar Player. I've done it.  |

I guess I am part of the 2% who does not like The Great Wave. However, if that was a derisive comment aimed at people who enjoy well-known artists' (music, poetry...) work, then that was not nice. Not all interests have to be obscure, underground or nonconforming. If that's not what you meant, then my bad.
Does anyone here paint? I would really like to, but don't know where to begin. I've done the paint by numbers, but that's just not fulfilling, and the artist that used to paint "pretty little trees" on TV is dead.

I've done the paint by numbers, but that's just not fulfilling, and the artist that used to paint "pretty little trees" on TV is dead. I paint some. I mean I am no great artist, but I enjoy it. All I do to start is just start painting. I never know exactly what its going to be. Once the paint marks start to take shape of something, then I finish the picture. Just get your favorite colors, and start painting lines, waves, circles, blobs even. Then hold the picture back and think of what it could look like. If it ends up looking like nothing...dont change it, because that my friend is still art. There you go student. |

I can create these beautiful pieces of art called stained glass. What you do is, go to your local craft store, buy liquidy paint and an eye/ear dropper, and the already cut into shape template. You then drop amounts of liquidy paint into the slot you want for the color you want. I usually fuck it up, as you all could have probably figured, and I get my red all up in my white, so I 'creative' it and just make the clouds pink (because I meant to do that)... This is my most recent creation...the colors are a bit off, but I think it turned out pretty good  |

Just to brighten your day...here is Bob painting happy little trees. I'd like it if he put a nice little red barn in there too. I love when he does the shingles with his knife - so cool. |

Not all interests have to be obscure, underground or nonconforming. If that's not what you meant, then my bad. It's just that of those 98% who like The Great Wave, 8% have actually taken the time to look through other pieces that aren't blazen on coffee mugs and mouse pads around the world. The other 90% claim The Great Wave as their favorite because they have no other choice, having made this decision because they once saw it on a t-shirt. These percentages are terribly accurate. |

I personally liked when he made trees with the fan brush. That show either bored me to death, or I enjoyed it. So what I am trying to say is Bob Ross owns, because he makes you hate him and love him. Do the trees Bob, do the trees! |

This is probably going to make the screen widen, but I think it needs to be a larger picture to see the great detail in the piece. Raphael's "School of Athens" is my second favorite painting. Some of his drawings were magnificent as well. The cool thing about this painting is that Raphael used Renaissance artists' faces for the Greek philosophers. (ex: I believe Leonardo is Socrates)  |
