Here's something I drew a while back

I'm glad architecture also came up here. I can's say I know many by name but I've always enjoyed good architecture.
One that I'm familiar with is Hundertwasser. His architecture always makes me smile when I come across it.

This one is in Magdeburg Germany.

And this one is probably his most famous building named Hundertwasser house. It's in the middle of Vienna so it's impossible to take a picture of the whole building in one shot.

I’m not generally a fan of surrealism, but this has always been one of my favorite paintings. The Lovers, as it’s popularly known, is actually only one of the four paintings in the Les Amants series by Magritte. Two of them feature figures with cloth over their heads and two feature floating heads. Every person I’ve asked has a very different interpretation of the meaning of this painting. And while all art and the responses it evokes is personal, I think the reactions to this specific painting gives more insight into the person than most.

Henn Kim has been one of my favorite artists for years and a have a lot of her work in my house. She‘s very prolific and her work is smart, funny, insightful, and heartbreaking. This was the very first piece of hers that I saw and it just resonated with me.

Me neither, but this paintings awakes my curiosity.
When it comes to surrealism I can still enjoy the skills, technic and objects.

In the mid 90's There was an exhibition with Roy Lichtenstein at Louisiana Museum in Denmark. I love the museum and thought that it was well worth spending a day at, but was not so impressed by the art....until I saw it for real. It is a whole other thing to see things for real rather than a photo of it.

A close up like that always gives me inappropriate associations.

Almost all of her flowers are quite sexual. This one is modest compared to some others.

Yes, I know. I've seen her paintings before, but I always forget the name of the artist.
They are beautiful though, in more ways than you might think when you enter an exhibition of her work.

I’ve been to the gallery in Santa Fe, fantastic work on display!

Does anyone know what the last painting is called? The colours are quite spectacular.

This almost looks like a high-resolution photo. Just incredible detail!

'Susannah' painting by British artist Jim Farrant

This painting reminds me of the Skagen painters. I'll put a link here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skagen_Painters
It's something about the light in the painting I think that is the same.
I like it!

This reminds me of Reutersvärd's "Impossible stairs".

Thank you kindly and good morning/afternoon to you!

Good morning to you too. It's almost noon here, but Saturday=lazy day.

Is that too a painting of Reutersvärd, or is it someone else?

All it says is that it’s an abstract; no title.
