What's your favorite painting/artist and why?

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 -

I love these paintings. The Institute of Art in Chicago has an amazing Impressionist exhibit filled with Van Gogh's, Monet's Cassatt's Reoir, Manet, and Marisots. If you have never been it is a must see.

It is lovely. I look at it every day and marvel. The original is huge ummm globs of paint and colour. It is amazing in so many ways.
