    I like Rodin too. Given a fair chance I think he could beat Godzilla too.

    My favorite Russian painter who, inexplicably seems to be largely underappreciated in the West.

    the brush strokes of
    Agony in the Garden,by El Greco
    at the Toledo Museum of Art.
    Just amazing!

    I really like El Greco. Dark, moody, transcendent, and always compelling

    Well, I guess you haven’t seen Godzilla, King of the Monsters. I saw it on the way to Belize.

    After coming home from WW2, my father wandered around aimlessly for a while. He studied art under Robert Brackman at the Art Students League in NYC in the mid 50's. For those not familiar, he did a lot of still life oil on canvas.

    My dad's style was spot on when compared to Brackman. My entire childhood included a stretched canvas on an easel in various stages of completion. He often set up scenes to paint. More often, he would take inspiration from any of a number of masters, and create his own works from something he saw in one of his numerous art books.

    This is a Dutch seascape from Jacob Van Ruisdael.

    This is my cat Casey. In the background, you can see a piece my dad did in the '70's.

    Thanks for sharing. I really like the art of the Dutch and Flemish masters of the northern Renaissance. Nobody was better at painting sky scapes, and their affinity for those nearly monochromatic tones is visually striking

    I have and if it wasn’t for Mothra Rodan could have tackled a burning Godzilla. Mothra always saves the big G’s tail when he’s in a bind.
