SomewhereIBelong, that sculture is to remember aborted children. It pisses me off, to be honest, because that decision is tough enough without a public scultupre to make me feel even more guilty.

I had a preparatory sketch (not the original!) for this painting on loan to me when I lived on campus in the last year of University. Seeing it reminds me how fortunate I was to go there at that time, and the feeling of potential and promise as we were about to move into the real world.

I don't know how to upload a picture but here is a link to my favourite painting.

I just love the colours and the peacefulness. I've seen it many times in theh National Gallery in Dublin and I just love to stare at it for ages. I used to have a big poster of it in my house. It got tatty. I think I'll replace it.

Lady Agnew of Locknaw by John Singer Sargent

Saw this in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh and it stopped me in my tracks

somewhere, that sculpture made the hairs on my back stand! I have no words!
My favourite is a Mondrian, scroll down please, it's the 7th image. Looks like random crosses. See if you can see an image :)

Any one of Monet's 'Waterlillies'. The colours are wonderful.

Anything by Richard Rowan, he paints on glass and the pictures look lit from within.

I have a limited edition print, saving for a painting.

I love the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne.

So much movement and emotion frozen in cold, white marble.
