    The lightness and brightness of Raoul Dufy's paintings always lift my spirits.

    So many.

    Probably my two favourites (but would change daily - e.g. to include Turner's 'Rain, Steam and Speed')

    Dali - Metamorphosis of Narcissus 

    T02343


    Picasso - Guernica

    Guernica 1937 by Pablo PicassoI was lucky enough to be in Madrid recently and went to see Guernica. We were first in so got a relaxed view of it. It is brilliant and the accompanying stuff about the Civil War put it into great context.

    A couple that come to mind

    Oscar Wilde's tomb - sculpture by Jacob Epstein 

    The picture painted by my then girlfriend for her A level Art exam. Titled "fast food" it was a watercolour of a lion in a tree eating an antelope. So good it looked like a photo. 

    She got me into Impressionism & the great English painters that have featured on here from Turner and the like.

    I think Rothko’s pieces in Tate Modern are my favourite works of art. So simple but so effective and calming.

    The scream is my favourite by Edvard Munch. Suitable for a Charlton supporter.

    Ah yes, the Seagram murals. Inspired me to paint when I was younger, sadly I was predictably shite at it 😏

    My new favourite piece by my daughter Izzy.

    My 50th Birthday present to me from her.  I said to her I wanted a mural painted on my wall in my basement (aka my Spurs room) and she presented me with this.  I thought it was absolutely incredible when I first saw it then the penny dropped that she's actually painted the 3 images of Sonny on the front.

    Its going up over the stairs to the basement but I need to change the perspex front for UV-protected glass as its a realy sunny room.
