What's your favorite painting/artist and why?

Georgia O'Keefe is My all time favorite artist. I love her watercolors especially. The depth in each painting of her's just "wows" Me. This is a pastel that she had done. I was fortunate enough to see her works in a museum out West a few years ago. It is a moment in time I will always remember. The same for visiting the Ansel Adams museum in Monterey, CA.

This one is called Blue Flower and was painted in 1918.

I have a deep love of various Japanese artists and prints of landscapes. Most of them from about the 1700's but a few contemporary ones. I also love Tibetian, javanese, balinese and Indian (more so southern India) art.

western paintings can be cool and I have a few favourites but they just don't move me as much.

my favorite non-western artworks are the paintings of the indigenous ppl of Australia
