Eventually, Matisse developed an unmistakable style.

Mark Langan is an artist whose medium is the cardboard boxes tossed by his neighbors. The corrugated edges create a surprisingly intriguing texture and flow the pieces. Very cool.

I am a lover of the Impressionist and abstract painters. Can't say I have a particular favorite although I have a great love for Georgia O'Keefe's paintings from her time in New Mexico. It feels like home to me....which makes sense because I am a native New Mexican.

Matisse, Frida Kahlo, Dali, Monet........

If anyone is ever in Washington DC, I highly suggest you go to the National Museum of Women in the Arts http://www.nmwa.org/ This is my favorite Museum in DC.

Every time this thread pops up I think, with no hesitation, about mom. She's been involved in art for ages, masters in art history, had a dream of opening a gallery with international recognition (which she accomplished) , and really never followed the rules...shes done textiles, oil, pastel, carving, clay, looms, photography and some of the stuff she's created leaves me scratching my head...but I think art is supposed to do that.

She's is my favorite.

I'll post a temp pic in the gallery -

Browsing through everyone's choices of images, I'm struck by your choices. Great assembly of form and texture. Love also the found object piece. Great eye.

My first love has always been Impressionism

But I enjoy art in all it's forms

I'm especially loving the Mark Langan posted earlier in this thread.

I am drawn to Jackson Pollock - I feel like I can see into his head thru his paintings.

I adore Ruebens
