Art: whether it is the art you make or art you like (for Lilith)
This is very open-ended.
Um, I know what I like? (sorry :))
I have never liked Picasso?
I like Egyptian tomb paintings, the cheerful ones with scenes of everyday life. There's something so positive about them... you will experience all these good things - like roast duck - again.
Will look at a Constable and a stylised scene with weird symbolic things in odd places and like both of them equally? (sometimes)
Love colour.
For my own use, first love is oils but I have an acrylic budget (sometimes not even).
I love messing around with abstract shapes and blending colours, especially in oils because there's all that texture. And trees, I used to like painting trees. Haven't in ages. But I do also like playing with charcoal, which is pretty far from colour and texture.
Painting I want to buy - saw it in a little gallery recently, just a wonderful, bright, cheerful field of poppies, done in oils, with amazing colour choices and texture that makes them almost step off the canvass. (I can't afford it, it's equal to two months' rent, but I can go smile at it sometimes.) They also had a series of small seascapes I could just see on the wall above the desk.
I love van Gogh. Any and all. Favourite depends on the day of the week and my mood. Right now, probably that farmhouse in a wheat field.
