Your Favourite Painting

[Astro Pen]

I found this yesterday in Newport Museum Gallery. I absolutely love it.
It is my new favourite.
Portofino Painted by war artist Eric Henry kennington in 1952.

One of my favourites and oddly similar - White Ships from Valinor, by Ted Nasmith.

I know it might sound a bit cliché, but I'm crazy about that painting 'The Dance'. No other painting has ever made me feel the way that one does. It's just so...

Very tough question. I am drawn to the surrealism of Dali and Magritte, and the proto-surrealism of Bosch. I can't pick a single one.

I'm a big fan of this 'Young Lady with a Parrot' by Rosalba Carriera:

And I also really love all of Henri Rousseau's jungle paintings, especially The Dream. There's something really special about them that's hard to pin down.

I don't think I have a favourite, but there are a lot of paintings that I like which I wouldn't want to hang on my wall and look at every day.

I really like the landscapes of Eric Ravilious.

I've recently got into the art for Moebius' strange graphic novel Edena. I like his use of colour and fading.

I also saw this today: it's called Sark by Edward Reginald Frampton, and I like it a lot.

I really like the landscapes of Eric Ravilious.

I was fully prepared not to think much of that Ravilious painting, but something about it makes me want to stare at (well, into) it...

...almost as if I'm looking through a portal at a (slightly, but somehow also significantly) different parallel world.
