These are a small sample of paintings that are true works of art. Paintings like this are humbling. They make me work harder to become a better painter.
The first three paintings are by Norman Rockwell. He is a master of capturing peoples expressions.
If you look closely, there is a cat on the boyscout's shoulder.
If you are a Chicago Cubs fan, (I am, because that is where I spent a two thirds of my life) you can relate to the next painting.
The next two paintings are by Salvador Dali. It would have been great to meet Dali.
I would have asked him "Hey dude! What were you thinkin'?
The next two paintings are by Claude Monet, the master of the brush stroke.
I saved my favorite artist for last. Pierre August Renoir has a distinct impressionistic style that is pleasing to the eye.
One of the great things about living in Chicago is The Art Institute of Chicago. I have seen these painters exhibitions there at different times. It is an amazing place.
