This is mine. It's called A pageant of childhood By Thomas Cooper Gotch

I love a painting in Manchester city art gallery called The Chariot Race I think. I could sit in front of it all day. The horses look like they are thundering towards you. I'm a bit of a tech div so can't link a pic.

Wish I'd seen that, Caulk :) It must have been a joyful exhibition!

I have loads too, but this is one of my favourites by Waterhouse

I have a postcard of that one gallic, I love it. There was an exhibition at the Tate modern a few years ago of Kandinskys work and I saw so much I had never seen before.

Blimey, I have loads! Here's one. I love every work Kandinsky made.

This one. Shows a carefree, nature-loving side of HRM. MUCH better than that Lucian Freud disaster!

The first time I saw it, it made me do a double take of the artist. Ofc v clever too, a few strokes of the pen and BAM here's ye man, away tilting at windmills, ta-dah.

Ive just had a look at it. It's so different from other stuff by Picasso (the women and the colour)

Not a painting but a sketch - Don Quixote by Picasso. It's very spare, a few lines really. Dapple is adorable, Rocinante is incredibly bony and yet noble of stance. Love it.

So you have? I meant Do you have! Maybe my thread title is just assuming you will have one...
