Following on from HelterSkelter1excellent thread on art I thought I would put an end to the fantasy and bring us back down to reality!

Sorry.

What is your favourite piece of art in your home?

I will start with mine, a piece we couldn’t really justify when we bought it 25 years ago but I fell in love with it and we lived in a barn conversion with huge walls and there was a big gap!

This painting is opposite our bed, so first thing I see each morning. Breeze blowing curtains through an open window, overlooking the sea. I love it. My dream is to live in a house with a view of the sea. I think this is the nearest I will get.

Ooh, how lovely nahsma - are you in Abergavenny?

Yes, I'm so lucky, I can see hills from every window!

I love pictures like this Rosiebee. Who couldn’t be happy to wake up and look at that 😃

When I was in hospital there was a dreadful, depressing picture opposite my bed. I'd wake up each day to see three rotting old boats falling to pieces on a muddy shore on a wet day.

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.

How lovely pea007
My late husband's boyhood home is now an Adventure Farm.
Several years ago I saw a news item featuring Prince Charles visiting the farm.
You probably know of it. smile

Casdon I wouldn't be surprised if we discovered we had people in common!smile

Quite possibly Aldom, it’s a small world in rural communities like this!

Mine isn’t a work of art as such. It’s one of the photos of Endurance.
Endurance was the ship that my hero Earnest Shackelton took to the Antarctic.
Having read everything there is to read on the subject it still gets to me and knowing what the ship’s photographer went through to get the glass plates ( the photos) when It was obvious that Endurance couldn’t be saved makes it more poignant.
