Paintings of fruits and bowls in general. I like to feel something from art and I get nothing out of them.

I've always liked Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son ... I like to show it to my Freshmen during our Greek Mythology unit. They seem to enjoy it.

I've always loved the color in this one by Van gogh:



Werewolf by Simon Bisley:

I'm not sure who did either of these.

The Bleeding Roses By Salvador Dali

I forgot to note this last night for the Van Gogh lovers... but if you get the opportunity to check out one of his paintings in person - I highly recommend it. You cannot do justice to the "texture" of his paint from a picture.

Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam

I had a chance to check this museum out about 15 years ago. If you can drag yourself out of a dope cocoon, it's worth the trip.

Or MOMA in NYC where Starry Night usually resides - though I see it is traveling a bit after mid January until June.

I couldn't tear myself away from this one...

I went to MOMA sometime last year and got a chance to see it, completely by chance as well.
