I know there's a few on here that enjoy art. Anyone got a favorite artist??

I think mine has got to be John Waterhouse at the moment, his painting are fantastic, mostly landscapes, he paints scenes from around Staffordshire, i'd love to photograph the scenes he paints, last night i saw a fantastic sunset, just after heavy rain, and it reminded me of a painting he done, but i never had my camera!!

I love the work of John Constable. Being in love with the English countryside, I believe he captured it to perfection.

I like his rendition of The Cornfield, and his Salisbury Cathedral cannot be beat.

Jason---I usually log on here via one phone network from my laptop, as now. I can also log on from my other mobile on a 2nd network should I choose to do so as well. Is this the sort of thing you might be reffering to, or similar?

Me, no other artist has given me more pleaser than I give myself when doing arty-farty stuff. A big part of art for me is the doing of it so when I look at other peoples work the bit I like best is missing.
