What's your favorite painting/artist and why?

My favorite is a Deacon Trust piece of an angel in the woods. Now, that sounds pretty and innocuous, but Deacon Trust is an Outsider artist, and the angel looks pretty much like a Power Puff girl with crazy eyes and a blue dress with a white stain on it (which earned her the middle name "Monica")... I love her because she's so completely unexpected and I smile every time I look at her.

Oh, and did I mention there's glitter in the painting? How can you not love fine art that includes glitter???
