One of my favorite things about Chicago was my visit to the Art Institute. Dana, Dave, Allen C., Carson and I wandered about, sometimes together, sometimes alone, which is my favorite way to visit museums with other folks. I saw some Jackson Pollacks, some Picasso, the Ferris Bueller painting (you know you’re a child of the 80’s if you don’t have to click the link!), but my surprise favorite of everything I saw was Van Gogh’s The Poet’s Garden. Feast your eyes on this:
And, as you can imagine, this reproduction doesn’t even begin to capture the intensity of the color, the passion of the brush strokes.
What’s your favorite painting? I’d be hard pressed to pick just one, but I’m curious to hear about what’s rocking your visual world right now. In fact, here’s an idea: why don’t you post a link to or picture of your current favorite painting. Leave a comment here, and we can all visit around and see some good art.
I posted! 🙂

Great idea-I posted!
Gosh, what is my fav painting? I’m going to have to ponder that one for a while. I’m guessing my daughter’s works of art don’t count. I’ll post on this in a few days time…
Also wanted to say thanks for the comment you left on my blog, since I can’t find an email for you I have to say it here. You are right – silence is the worst of all options. Thanks so much.
Wow, this a great meme, but I’ll have to think about it… I mean, my one and only favorite? Yikes.
