My first love was Leonardo da Vinci- but my taste in art is like my taste in music, broad and eclectic. My current favorite painters are Francis Bacon and Euan Uglow -they were classmates of the more well known Lucien Freud- but I like Uglow better. I am also extremely fond of Vermeer- as my avatar shows, its my work after his.
My current favorite sculptor and mentor is Jill Downen. I have loved Earnest Trova's work for decades.
Knowing an artist who is young and good and starting out is cool- if you collect any of her stuff- you help her and if she becomes famous then you have an investment!
my son learned about the Haitan earthquake today in school, and he thinks the whole governing body was buried. It sounds as the the whole country is in ruins.
Do the people in Haiti have anyone left to govern them?
