Your favourite art

[Hellin301]

Aibu to ask you to show me your favourite piece of art?

Something in your home that you love or a piece of art you have your eye on/ would love to have!

Phillipa what a special picture that chicken is. So sorry about your little girl, I lost my 1 year old boy suddenly myself. My favourite piece of art in our house is his handprints that he did for me .
My favourite painting I don't own is The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche, it's massive and demands your attention when you walk into the room. A very sad painting but beautifully done.

I would love to have one of LS Lowry's works.

@captainprincess it's by Rob Barnes - he has lots of lovely prints here: www.southwoldgallery.co.uk/prints

I spend far too much time on that site - it's my happy place!

Gah, switch the first two names around.

I have a couple of Rob Barnes and Kerry Buck pieces. I'm so glad they were mentioned on the first page!

My favourite Barnes is "Taking Flight" and I have two Buck favourites: "Moonstruck" and "Little Owl".

1st by a local artist Ginger Pigdin- i love it so much.

2nd one of my own I'm just about finished.

Would love to own this Peter Howson- no such luck!

I love Hokkusai. Japanese art is just so different and I like the way you can see how they developed anime and manga from their traditional style. I like they style of old railway posters too.

This painting by Lilas Blano

I'm not going to post it because I made it myself and have posted it up on facebook etc. but it's a photo of a church made to look like a watercolour painting. I had it printed on textured paper and then framed and I think it's lovely. It's on the side drawers in the living room.

I LOVE Andy Warhol...there are a lot of bananas in my house.

And some literary quote prints from Obvious State.

The Orchard by Dod Proctor, I love the light

Love these watercolours by Michael Morgan

As for illustrations, as someone mentioned upthread, you absolutely cannot beat Shirley Hughes

Any of these.

I already have a very early work by this artist, doubt if I'll ever be able to afford another.

I have the postcard of that on our bedroom wall, DH thinks I'm mad!

I have a few signed, limited edition Sam Chadwick prints of various Yorkshire scenes and landscapes. Not particularly valuable but nice to have nevertheless. I quite like the reproduction railway posters that are often seen in art galleries. There is a painting called 'A Spring Morning' by George Clausen which used to hang in a pub near me. I've always liked it and I'll probably buy a print when I have a few more walls.

These are my favourite pieces in our house. The first is Cromer pier, we try and go every year. The second was an impulse buy by Paul Caulfied. I love the way it captures the mood of the light, though we can never decide if it's sunrise or sunset

I don't own it unfortunately, saw it in a gallery whilst on holiday, it's by John Paul Cooke.
There was a loose plan to buy it for my 40th, which is hurtling towards me, don't think that's going to happen now.

I was just about to post the same. I love this Dali painting, saw it at the Prado in Madrid. I think it’s moved to another gallery now. Stunning.

David Barrow has painted many pictures of the Northern Soul club scene. I don't know if prints are available but the originals would be beyond my reach!

I've just ordered one of these as a reward to myself for finishing my tax return and I'm totally in love already! Wish I could afford the original but prints make me happy - and mean I can have more art up, right?! www.waterhorseartistry.co.uk/product-page/moon-daughter-art-print

My favourite original art in my home is a blackbird my lovely friend drew for me years ago. I don't have expensive tastes but what I love, I really love!

Oh no, I linked the wrong one

Brilliant thread. I love Sarah Farooqi, she does lots of pictures and maps of Northumberland and the north east. This is one of my favourites:

I wish I had the confidence to buy original art. I can afford it, I don't know what's stopping me
