My favorite picture that I have up in my bedroom is a picture I took at sunset of the saint louis cathedral in new orleans. The church is silouetted against a sky of purple, pink and grays. I love it....

A painting that my moms cousin painted of my dad and brother after they died.

He captured them perfectly.. from the twinkle in their eyes to the smirk my dad had on his face all the time.

I'll try to take a picture of it and post it here..

The clear blues don't show up here as they really do. This hangs in my bedroom. It positively glows with life when spotlite.

We did a wine dinner/exhibit for her in Jacksonville.

Beautiful stuff. She autographed my print, which I have framed- so it's kind of special.

On a wall in my home office, I have three original Glen Gore wildlife etchings. I've had them for 20 years, and still enjoy them.

Excellent question.

There are two prints on the wall of my bedroom -
The first is Edgar Degas "Dance Class"

The other one in my bedroom is Claude Monet "Poplars on the Bank of Epte River"

My home is also filled with paintings that were done by friends of mine.

Well, since you asked...

My dad used to be a painter. He has his BA in Art.

Once he joined the work force, he stopped being an artist. He let it slip - it wasn't paying the bills, so it wasn't important to him.

For some reason, it was important to me, though.

He asked me what I wanted for my birthday one year. I told him that I wanted him to paint the Lenape Lighthouse (on a lake near where we used to live). He told me that was impossible - he couldn't do it.

I knew he could.

For the next couple of years, anytime he asked what I wanted for a birthday or Christmas present, I would say the same thing.

"I want you to paint the Lenape Lighthouse."

After about two years of this, I figured he would never do it.

That Christmas, I got a wonderful surprise.

(This is a horrible shot, but it's the best I can do with my webcam.)

No way I am exposing my black velvet Elvis painting to a flash!

I wanna see. I am a big Elvis fan.
I bet you are just teasing me.


My favourite pictures are the family photos.
Particularly the one of my oldest holding my youngest as a baby.
<echoing lovetoread's feelings on them growing up so fast>

Next favourite would be the friendship pic
my best friend gave me.

It's not the best painting in my house, but it's my favorite.

Here's a close up shot.
