Hi,
I just love an artist named Guy Rose. He is an American Impressionist. I also like Frank Benson.

Myself of course, but also there is Sam Yeates of Austin, we just did a review of his work for Capitol City A&E Magazine. He is originally well known for his Armadillo World Headquarters Poster Artist, but now he is dipping his tool into oil.

Sam did posters for LoneStar Beer, for several musicians around Texas, Bob Segar, lots of blues musicians. You can see original oils at Wild About Music.

Hi, my name is Denise, I am an avid collector of Harrison Fisher, I have been collecting for about twenty years. I collect bookplates, some covers, postcards, novels and I am trying to find some original art and some different pieces such as calendars and I also have heard of a room screen that is decorated with his work. I have several large illustrated books and many novels that Harrison Fisher illustrated. I would be very interested in any information and or material done by Fisher.
Thanks Denise

The Pre-Rapaelites as a movement, Dante Gabriel Rossetti in particular. It's no
longer quite the indicator of poor taste that it once was, and I can safely admit
I'm a Rossetti admirer even in academic circles.

Pretending I didn't hear that . . . ashamed to say, I don't have a clue. There are
simply too many artists to be able to keep up, I swear.
I have about 500 favourite artists, but I'll start with a top 10 - but they're all ones.
Peter Mwahalugange (my all-time favourite and friend)
Joyce Mbonani (favourite Ndebele artist)
Andrč Derain
August Macke
Alexej von Jawlensky
Ljubow Popowa
Franz Marc
Wassily Kadinsky
Vincent van Gogh
Sonia Delaunay-Terk (like her work better than that of her husband, Robert Delaunay)
Expressionism is my thing.

Joseph Mallord William - Turner. An amazing painter, a visionary far ahead of his own times. Can't say he's a particular favourite of mine, but I have a great respect and admiration for him.
(I also normally dwell in Drool, but hope to be popping in occasionally to have a look around.)

BIG WELCOME TO THE DROOL SISTERS!!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!
Terry, you just can't tear your mind from the hay, can you?? Anyway, it's quite possible that Turner painted haystacks during his travels to Holland and France, though I can't think of one off-hand. You're not thinking of Millet in that respect, are you? One of Turner's most famous (and beautiful) paintings, is Steamboad off a Harbour's mouth. I'll try and find it, and post it here.

Thank you, Nan!
And I'm with you - I absolutely ADORE Van Gogh's paintings. The lines and colour, the movement in his skies, the texture of his ground, it is all so beautiful.
And the second painting (The Church at Auvers, painted June 1890) is one of my favourite paintings by him - saw it last year in the Musee D'Orsay in Paris, and
it's even more impressive in real life than on photos. The colours are just incredible.

Vincent van Gogh
'Starry Night'
1889
He painted it after going into an asylum at St Rémy at his own request in May that year. I must say if going insane would help me paint like that, I'd gladly give um my only slightly instable frame of mind for a frenzy.

Thanks for that Autumn, and Terry.
I think 'the Scream' is a fantastic painting. I find it amazing how this artist could paint really expreme psychological states with such and unprecedented conviction and intensity - it almost borders on the frenzied at times.
Apparently he once said of his own art: 'Just as Leonardo da Vinci studied human anatomy and dissected corpses, so I try to dissect souls.'
Great stuff!!

Here is something I like:
Jean Baptiste Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927)
'Tall Trees in Autumn'
1876
I don't know much about this painter. He was a French landscape painter, one of the minor figures of the Impressionist group. And he was one lucky guy. Lack of success made it impossible for him to rely on art for income - until he won a lottery in 1891, that is. This enabled him to devote all his time to painting for the rest of his life!
The painting itself I find really really pretty.

Once. It was a very moving experience, even though at the time I wasn't really into art. I remember standing there and thinking what bliss it must be to have such talent, to make something so profoundly beautiful with ones hands; I thought this not only because of the art, but the chapel itself is just so beautiful. I still think that!!!! I mean, my art is really worthless, absolutely worthless compared to that sort of thing. Unfortunately one isn't allowed to take photos in there - no idea how the
ell photos of it get into art books!!! I want to ask you something too, Terry: do you get these really big, fantastic cathedrals in America?

Yes, she actually made a living from painting, though only for a very short time, because she married so young, and then did what all other women did. But still I find it so amazing! I never knew there existed such a thing as a 17th century female painter! I want to go to the library on Friday to see what I can find on her; I don't think much exists, but I get such a kick out of it!

Welcome home, Patrick.
I believe Louise Moillon simply stopped painting when she married - sadly so, because her work is truly exquisite. The little I have seen anyway. Back in the 17th century women were basically expected to tend to household and kids full time after getting married, and I suspect that is what happened to her too. But I must do some more research first.
