Post your favorite paintings
 

Hi folks, since the season is changing (from old man winter into Spring where I live), I thought it would nice to have a thread where we can post our most loved paintings. To start things off, i've posted two of my favorites which by the way are on display at the National Gallery in Canberra if you're visiting our fair shores :)

Cheers,
Bodhi

Hi Bob, that is a beautiful painting. I can understand why it is a family favorite. I love the way the artist captured the wet street & light shining through the windows :)
