Favourite art

I love art but I am not artist. I love to look at art, read about the lives of artists and fascinated by the techniques they use.  Each Wednesday I select a different artist and share their works. I am yet to run out of artists!

Here are some of my favourites, in no particular order.  If these paintings were for sale and I could afford them, I would have in my home. This is a list that is likely to grow as I am always finding paintings that I love!

The girl with the pearl earring by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675)
Flaming June by Lord Frederick Leighton (1830-1896)
Mother and daughter by Elisabeth-Louise Vigee-Le Brun (1755-1842)
Hope by George Frederick Watts (1817-1904)
This is the way we wash the clothes by George Dunlop Leslie (1835-1921) - I like most of his works, its hard to decide on just one painting.
Hvile by Vilhelm Hammershoi (1864-1916) - I had the privilege of seeing this painting in Canberra and it did not disappoint me. Hammershoi's paintings have a wonderful stillness and peace to them.
