I wouldn't know how to stop in listing my fave paintings, but here are a few I like by a friend/colleague of mine, Melora Kuhn:

They probably won't translate well at this size, but they are large oil paintings.

QuoteIs that girl blowing that guy's flute?

;D I think it's funny how spent the guy looks, totally drained of energy. But, yeah, that's what's supposed to be going on, those two enjoying each other. The painting is by Titian, and called (something like) Three Ages of Manhood. I guess young adulthood should be spent getting your flute blown ;D

YES, another great one. Have you seen the movie Frida? It's great but they should've done it in Spanish, it would've been more of a tribute that way. Still, its very good.

Yeah excellent website & amazing paintings! I suppose that comparisons to Giger are somewhat obvious but also inevitable. Wikipedia says that he was murdered in 2005, very sad.
