I like some classical painters John Singer Sargent (sp)for one. But some of todays modern prints are really good. Justin Bua and Stephen Johnson are excellent imho except that this sort of art is likely to be displayed in a very modern setting. I'd love to have some of these prints.

Degas Absinthe Drinker. It's sad and funny at the same time, particularly if you've been a drinker yourself

I like degas sandy usually the ballerinas but the Absinthe drinkers look a real miserable pair don't they.
Ann I absolutely love avril paton, the Rain Mates is a favourite.
DT all the ones you mention are nice painters Andrew Wyeth was one of my sisters favourites, not seen Bernard Leach's pottery, I'll have to google it.

I was given this as a present years ago, not the original but not a print, I understand it's a copy.

Apart from that I have Lowry and Vettriano framed prints, and some originals I bought from a guy in the 70's who used to also design album covers.

I think in that painting he caught what drinking is really about. They may be beside each other but their real relationships are with whats in the glasses.

Dont have any Bernard Leach pots myself (too pricy) but I have a piece of his wife's (Janet) and a few of his son (David).......the pottery in St Ives is still active.

Also love the likes of Henry Tuke and Stanhope Forbe when it comes to Cornish art..........I trained with Leonard Fuller who was very influential in St Ives circles and the Penwith Socviety - that in part led to the Tate down here.

Chris I love the way she paints skin...........
