Passion for Paintings

I love art. I really appreciate it and wish I had artistic talent. My siblings have it and I am sad to say I'm the only one who didn't inherit any.  Such shame. Huhu

But I do love admiring art. I don't know extensively about painters and stuff, but I try to by looking at books and surfing the net. Below are some of my favorite artwork :D

1. Young Flautist by Edouard Manet

 It's such an iconic painting. Ang tanong lang: Ano ang nilalaro ng bata? We may never know.

2. Cafe Terrace by Vincent Van Gogh

I love Van Gogh's paintings(and his name because it reminds me of this guy). Cafe Terrace is definitely one of my faves. It makes you wish you were just there in the painting, sipping coffee with a special guy. ;)

3. Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer by Gustav Klimt

This is probably my all time favorite painting. Not only is it sparkly(Spaaaaarklyyyyy @__@), but it looks so luxe, so rich. I love the contrast between the classically beautiful woman and the art deco inspired motif. 


4. Pencil Study of Dance in the Country by Auguste Renoir


Okay. I like the painting but I like this pencil study better. It somehow looks very romantic because of it's simplicity and lack of colors.

5. Portrait of Auguste Renoir by Frédéric Bazille

What I like here is that this looks as if it was painted by Van Gogh. And it also kinda looks like an old fashioned stolen shot este painting since Auguste's pose here doesn't look contrived(heck, I don't think he knew he was being painted by Frédéric!) and his eyes aren't staring into your soul.
