Johanna, I really like "Nighthawks" - so atmospheric and seems to tell a story, or you can make up your own. Living in Cornwall, we have beautiful artwork around us, but I still think Sisley is my favourite. Also love the rather comic work of Mackenzie Thorpe, a Yorkshire artist. We have enjoyed many wonderful walks in the Dales and visited his very small shop in Ripon, where were lucky enough to meet the man himself. Returned two years ago to find a very posh gallery there instead, complete with rather snooty assistants - what a shame. Never mind, his paintings of sheep always make me smile, and I am looking at his work over the fireplace as I type this. We enjoyed the Hockney exhibition in February, and I would love one of his small studies of wild flowers to hang in my room, not what you would expect at all. Monet continues to be a favourite, would happily hang any of them. An English artist called Rowland Hilder painted wonderfully evocative scenes of our country, many of them were used on postage stamps or in the old Shell motoring guides, if he ever did any large enough to hang on my wall, I would love one of those.
