Favorite artist or type of art?

I could list a ton that I like for a variety of reasons, but one of my all time favorites is of course DALI!

They also have a website that I was gonna check out later and there should be a link there on how and when to submit art for the next get together. I would like to get good enough to send some in to them!

the link is

I have always been a huge fan of Van Gogh, and have been to the Van Gogh Museum at Amsterdam four times already to see his work along with other exhibits, such as Picasso and Matisse. I am planning another trip there at the end of April to see the MoMA Van Gogh exhibit that you mentioned seeing at the Yale Art Museum...Can't wait to see Starry Night in person!

My favorite artist is Mark Rothko! Also like Chagal and David Sedaris as a writer (word artist) too!; ▶ Reply to This

In music: Just about anything Baroque, Classical or Romantic. Scott Joplin. 1930s swing (Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glen Miller). Mike Oldfield. Gilbert and Sullivan. Celtic. smurphgr What was that you said, Gary? spuhgr Sorry, can't hear you. Speak up. SPICE GIRLS. Happy now?

Victorian architecture and design. We found an architect who designed a practical version of the Manor from Charmed for us. Someday we'll even build it.

I love the use of language in Victorian literature.; ▶ Reply to This
