Do you have a favorite painter/painting? Tell me all about them/it!!

I want to hear all of your favorites!

I love Leonid Afremov and I’ve been trying to find similar works, but I just havent had any luck. I did just stumble across Iris Scott and Anastasia Trusova tonight and I like them a lot, but I don’t love them like Afremov!! My favorites by him are Farewell to Anger and Under One Umbrella. I have them both hanging in my living room. I’ll attach Under One Umbrella here for your viewing pleasure…

I love the paintings by John Martin. Just huge scope and depth.

@MarsRedSky oh wow, that’s pretty awesome. It looks like a scene out of the book I’m reading! 😂

@cherryxblossom What’s the book? Must be pretty apocalyptic 😆

@MarsRedSky It’s all over the place, for sure! Lol Kushiel’s Dart. It’s so long…I’ll be reading it til I die at this point haha

@cherryxblossom lol that’s apparently only the first book in the series as well. Got another “War and Peace” on our hands

cherryxblossom

@MarsRedSky Yeah…the others are crazy long too! I’m determined to finish the first one…I’m about 80% now lol…depending on how it ends, I might just read summaries/reviews for the others 😬😂

@cherryxblossom Haha, so basically..

@MarsRedSky I always feel Martin was illustrating The Lord of the Rings before it was actually written!

@JoeXP Totally. How amazing would an illustrated book by Martin be for LOTR.

@MarsRedSky Somehow I missed this comment! Unfortunately there are WAY too many details in this book lol. If I went to the end I’m sure it would make no sense 🤣 I haven’t had time to read lately, but I’ll get there. 😜
