It is a very difficult question to answer but I think one of my favourite paintings is "Guernica" by Picasso. In 1937 Picasso was commissioned to produce a piece of work for the Paris National Exhibition and this painting was the result! It depicts a very difficult time in Spanish history during the civil war, showing all the grim reality and savagery associated with the conflict in Guernica at that time. Not only was the subject matter very powerful and emotional material to work with, the painting is also very large - mural style - being 138 x 308 (350.5 x 782.3) - oil on canvas. I am a great fan of Picasso and the Cubist movement, but this surely must rate as one of the best works during this period and by this artist!

Fanny Brennan's Eclipse. It was a gift from a friend that was personally signed to me, it's very soft and I love the shades of blue.
All of her paintings are small and can not be enlarged. And they show a great since of humor. Love em

That is like asking -what is your favorite song?
It depends on the mood. At night I listen to different music, than I do on a bright sunny day when I'm going somewhere.
I tried thinking about a favorite, but I couldn't think of just one.

The Origin of Man (or The Origin of the World) circa 1886 by Gustav Courbet. You have to see it to believe it. Courbet was the father of Realism. He eschewed in this movement in art. He showed modern life with all its blemishes. He didn't hold back. And he was never apologetic about it. Trust me. You have to see it to believe it.

Anything by Vangogh. He painted with such passion. You have to see his work in a museum to really appreciate it. He is one of the people I would like to have met.
