“A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” is one of my favorite paintings of all time. It was painted by Georges Seurat (1859-1891) and it took him 2 years (1884-1886) to complete it.
This painting was shown in the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when Ferris and Cameron went to the Art Institute of Chicago..

everyone has such marvelous paintings as their favorite! for true!
My favorite is "The Runaway" by Norman Rockwell...I think it is because it was painted about the time i was the same age as the boy in the yellow shirt, and when i was that age, i had a favorite shirt, and it was a yellow short sleeve...and one day soon i shall write a story about that painting...stay tuned space-fans.

I have a favorite called "the Kiss" by Gusta Kilmtis...it has a woman and man kneeling and embrassing with all these colors around them...Then I fell in love with a native american painting with a female and male embrassing -love it but don't know the name of it...

Monet's "Waterlillies"
One more? That lovely painting of a girl-waitress in a Parisian
bar ... Manet, I think. It shows so much of his purity as a person. Very interesting that a man should look at a woman that way. Composition absolutely unique. Colors so beautifully balanced ...

Georges de La Tour's "Joseph the Carpenter". He had such a wonderful sense of light and how it interacted with the subjects, even in the smallest of details.

It's a tie between Gustav Klimt's "The Ages of Women," and
J. W. Waterhouse's "Boreas". They're both eerily romantic... I've always loved them.
