I don't know about other artists, but for me it's very seldom that I can enjoy my own work the way I do the work of others. All gone. I miss them.

My fave is also the one u had up there by Salvador. I have this problem with thingink I'm old and the painting reminds me that we all have a warped sense of time and that I should not pay it much attention. | |

I DO love this painting though - Shes done others that I have framed and hung in my dining room. This is my fave though - it makes me laugh every time I see it I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

I was going to put a Botero nude in our guest bathroom, but I was afraid it might not be "accepted" very well. There is symbolism behind his inflated figures. I think they represent.. well-fed upper class or something? I read about it a while ago. I can't remember exactly. Well maybe not! Here's what he said about his choice of subjects:
Botero explains his use of these "large people", as they are often called by critics, or obese figures and forms thus: "An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it."
wiki-Fernando Botero. So I don't know where I got the other from! We have a number of Botero prints throughout our house. We have one of people dancing: Ball in Columbia 
We have El Patio in our sunroom!
And in our kitchen, we have one of a birthday cake, Bon Anniversaire. Also, in our kitchen we have this self-portrait of Frida Kahlo with Itzcuintli Dog http://www.fridakahlofans...0252x.html and also Diego Rivera's The Flower Carrier 
In our guest bathroom, I opted instead for Picasso's The Bathers: http://www.abcgallery.com...sso24.html [Edited 5/23/09 5:16am] | |
