Post-Impressionist painter, Georges Seurat's painting Sunday on La Grande Jatte is one of my favorites. The style is called Pointillism. He actually used dots of paint to create this masterpiece. Something about the tone is mesmerizing to me.

Guernica (Spanish: [ɡeɾˈnika]; Basque: [ɡernika]) is a large 1937 oil painting by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.[1][2] It is one of his best-known works, regarded by many art critics as the most moving and powerful anti-war painting in history. Guernica is exhibited in the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

I visited Mueso Reina Sofía in 2008 while I was doing a tour of the art galleries in Madrid.

I have written many essays and studied Guernica but it doesn't compare to actually standing in front of such a magnificent painting. It took my breath away. The subject matter maybe distressing but it does really make think.

I saw a guy painting this on fb. I offered him to buy it. He sold it to me. He has since done 3 portraits for us. And we are good friends now. Artists rock. 20180821_175026.jpg
