I don't have a favourite, too many different styles to narrow it down, just like musical groups. What I've been doing lately is putting a song and an artist together....here's some examples.

Jerry Garcia/Vincent Van Gogh

Grateful Dead/Salvador Dali

Rolling Stones/Wasilly Kandinsky

Miro

Cassatt

Magritte

Escher

Picasso (esp. Blue Period)

Pollack

Giger

Rothko

One night around 1991 I went with a friend to the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. To my great shock, I encountered both "The Starry Night" by Van Gogh, and "The Persistence of Time" by Dali. My two favorite paintings, ever.

My favorite painter of all time is Edward Hopper.

In The Light since 1972.

Trampled Under Foot. My life with Led Zeppelin.

Many artists over many disciplines and styles for their impact at different points in my artistic endeavors. Fibre art and medieval tapestry holds a special place in my heart as textiles was my major. When I was around 13 I discovered Beardsley and sat up many nights learning pen and ink technique. I love Rothko for his palate studies and ability to channel emotion with such impact.

It is the Pre-Raphaelite style of painting which always captures my heart. I also like any other kind of art from the Victorian era.

The following is a list of some of my favourite Pre-Raphaelite paintings:

Waterhouse - St. Cecilia
