Thank you, PF.

For the Salvador Dali fans,

Salvador Dalí died of heart failure this day in 1989 at Figueres, Spain. He was buried in the crypt of his Teatro Museo.

My favorite artist is Albrecht Durer. He was a german printer in the rennaisance. He also painted, but i love him for his print work, amazing--just absolutely amazing! My favorite painting is a self portrait, and in it he looks what is commented as Christ-like. Well if you watch Bram Stoker's Dracula, there is a scene towards the beginning in Vlad's Castle that there is a portrait up on the wall, a very good image of Gary Oldman in Albrecht's pose. My favorite prints are Melancholia I, The Four Horsemen, and St. Jerome in his Study. All were painstakenly cut prints out of metal or wood. All the detail, amazing.

Not classical, but one I enjoy is Steve Hanks. Very sensual and lifelike paintings.

My dad. Ok, I may be a bit biased, but he really is an incredible painter. He does AWESOME seascapes!

Darogle...Seascapes are a rarity anymore. Congrats to your dad!

Avatars need a little jolt now and then. Hope everyone is doing well.

is ok to be biased...my grandmother is actually a fairly well known artist in her genre and I love the paintings she has given me although they are nothing like the style of other artists I admire.

Starry Night, Van Gogh has always been a favorite (Don McLean did a good song too)

And I always like Frida Callo (spelling) I remeber reading about her in Espanol Uno in High school and I liked her work
