I have a list and I really love the Renaissance period. Here is the Virgin I did after Bottecelli. I cut out the Virgin in wood, covered her in fabric and then painted on top. The hands are Bottecelli. I love the way he did hands.

Her red cape is a piece of fabric I got at Joann's.

This is my brother Matthew, so I am biased, but he is a wonderful artist. He has pieces in both MOMAs (CA and NY), the Art Museum of Dallas, and a museum in Wichita, among other places. If you google him, you can probably find the most recent show in Zurich.

non-related favorites include:
Edward Hopper,
Gustav Klimt
Ewa Wall (Hill country Texas artist)
Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Keith Haring
Wow! Your brother sure IS talented! Thanks for sharing that with us. Next time I'm at MOMA in NY I will make a point to find his painting :)

I love Monet, and Renoir. In a different medium I think what Ansel Adams did with black and white photography is awesome.
