I've liked every Matisse I've ever seen since a child looking at my mother's art books.<br /><br />That cheesecake looks delicious.<br /><br />And, yes, there are so many still lifes you could do a post every day and still not even cover a fraction of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-29293814689058107092012-12-10T11:48:14.997-05:002012-12-10T11:48:14.997-05:00Mark, that tricycle painting stopped me in my trac...Mark, that tricycle painting stopped me in my tracks one afternoon when I was looking for something else. I don't know what it is about that painting, but I love it. And yes, I agree with your comment.

I intend to explore the archives in detail.<br /> My favourite painting was the four jars by Janet Fish. Usually I would not choose anything so realistic, almost photographic, but my immediate response was to imagine the taste of comb honey, and to want it! Now, that takes skill. <br />May I link your blog to mine, Investmeinmymotley@shaw.ca? I think that some of my readers would enjoy in so many words as much as I do! <br />Sincerely Ellen <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-11813373573951519332012-12-09T13:12:09.628-05:002012-12-09T13:12:09.628-05:00Hi, Yvette - As always, I enjoy your choices, incl...Hi, Yvette - As always, I enjoy your choices, including several new to me. Looking at Jeffrey Larson's paintings, it's interesting to note that his portraits tend to be slightly impressionistic, while his still lifes tend to the hyper-real.Mark D.
