Your favourite piece of art in your home

Ooh, how lovely nahsma - are you in Abergavenny?

My favourite piece is a print my daughter bought for me of the words to “ One Day Like This” by my favourite group Elbow. My mum loved this song too and we sing it at my community choir. So the words are very special.
I have seen them in Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, London, York, Dalby Forest on many occasions. My dream is to see them when they perform abroad. I love in hope!

I also love my Jack Vetriano limited edition

I painted this watercolour some years ago and just love it!

Its hard to choose my Ditchfield early pieces or my lalique , and I quite like my clarice too

I haven't got any personal absolute favourites, we do have quite a few pictures I like. My mother loved Lowry, and I've now got the one she had in her living room and it's a comfort because it reminds me of her often as does her book of Monet's work another of her favourite artists.

I bought a print of this cartoon just after the Millenium, I like the humour of the artist who went to an art school that was fairly local at one time.

My sister gave me a print, probably done in the 1970s, of the frontage of the Glasgow School of Art...before it burned down. A beautiful art nouveau building. But it's signed by the artist. Avril Paton - who I met and played with when we were on holiday in Arran; when I was nine and she was eight!
That's my all time favourite.

But above my desk I also have a colour print, a small portrait of a lady from Pompeii - before the eruption in AD 79. She's holding a stylus and a wooden tablet with wax to write on...
Encouraging. Women wrote even then.

Mine is a piece of Lladro that I bought in Majorca many years ago. It isn’t the familiar blue and white. It’s a beautiful deer head about 45cm tall. I love it. This is a stock photo from eBay. Each one is slightly different depending on how the glazing ended up. I call mine Dusty - because I once noticed some cobwebs between her ears as I’d obviously not been very timely with my domestics!!!

My favourite picture is a black and white print, dated 1976, of a string quartet in rehearsal by Siegbert Reinhardt, which is in my music room and bought from a charity shop several years ago. I paid around £6 for it but it turns out to be quite collectable, although I didn't know it at the time l.

The picture in question.

First is I'll de Re by Mark Buck.
Second is Stone Bridge signed limited edition by Bob Dylan

Aldom I have a similar painting. Your husband and I must be from the same area as that was the view from my bedroom window on my family farm when I was a child.

Our happy place Llanddwyn Island by Janet Bell

Sago A bronze bust of Voltaire, I adore him

My favourite picture and the dancers in my fireplace. I do have pictures but my home is full of the family in frames which I change every now and then. Dancers and dancing features in my home.

The Mona Lisa, naturellemènt.

I have two. The first is a copper planter covered in strange birds and plants. It was in my grandparent's house and I always loved it. It wasn't till 20 years ago that it was actually a piece of Newlyn Copper, by a well known artist, and actually quite valuable. My other treasure is an etching by Elizabeth Frink. It's an unsigned proof and had rather shady origins involving my father in law1 Being unsigned it's value is minimal, but it's still a print pulled from her original plate.

Is that Newborough beach Wetnosewheatie? My favourite beach of all beaches.

Wyllow3. Are the 3 your own work? If so they are excellent. I love the central one especially.

Thank you, yes.

I've done conceptual and controversial work but definitely not on my walls.

I can see Pen y Fan from my front windows Aldom, I’m a bit further away than your husband was, though.
This is my favourite, it’s an original watercolour of children on the beach at Concarneau.

I'm looking out on Skirrid Fach as I write, and when I go to make some tea I shall see Blorenge!

Lucky you!!
I have climbed both but probably couldn't any more.

That would make me want to weep!
