This video is completely crazy... I love it! It makes me uncomfortable to watch it, but I believe that is the point.

"Portrait de Jeune Fille III" by Shan-Merry

I absolutely love Shan-Merry's use of watercolor in portraits.  The images are so graceful and beautiful but captivating.  All of his pieces have a beautiful subtlety about them, and they are just wonderful.  I actually bought a signed lithograph of one of his pieces a few years ago, and it's one of my most cherished possessions.

"Goofy" by Peter Max

To be honest, I wrote about this piece because I absolutely cannot stand Peter Max.  To me, his work looks like something my high school Graphic Design teacher would have gotten mad at me for making because I wasn't concentrating on the task at hand.  His use of color is random and arbitrary, and his subject matter is cliche.

Leon Rosenblatt "Coyote Mask"

Leon Rosenblatt (2009?)

This is a piece done by my uncle Leon.  He is currently being featured in a gallery in San Francisco.  The piece was done in graphite, and I absolutely love his attention to detail.

Salvador Dali's "Bomb"

Dali (19??)

I chose this piece because Salvador Dali always impresses me.  He was such a crazy, imaginative man.  This piece shows destruction in a barren landscape, but also life.

Claude Monet's "Madame Monet and Her Son"

Monet, 1875

I chose this piece because, not only am I a fan of Monet's and the whole Impressionist movement, but I saw this piece in the National Gallery of Art in D.C. a few months ago.  Now, I love art, but I spent six hours at the museum, looking at classical paintings about religion and traditional subjects, and it was very dull.  However, everything changed when we walked in to the Impressionist gallery: there were beautiful colors, fantastic movement, and everything in the painting just felt so VIVID.  This is hands down my favorite piece in the National Gallery of Art (at least in the West Wing).
