Paintings that you like or own.

I thought it would be an interesting idea for people to post here the paintings they admire or that they put up in their house. Please include Artist/Name as well as the picture.

Here is one of mine:

They are two of my favorites.

My pleasure. I just wish I could figure out a way to get a print or two in my back water city.

I found his (Eugenio Recuenco) work pretty interesting until I happened upon the blackface.
