Favourite paintings

Here is a selection of my favourite paintings. I approach this art-form, for the most part, on a gut level and have little knowledge of its rudiments or its history. Maybe as I get older I'll begin to develop more of a knowledge of it, but for now here is my selection of favourite paintings at this moment in time.........

Woman III - Willem De Kooning

I have a page torn out of a book of this painting displayed on my bedroom wall. This is also, incidentally, the second most expensive painting of all time!


Four Girls on a Bridge - Edvard Munch

A lesser-known Munch work... I saw this in Cologne and bought a small postcard-sized print of it to put on my wall.

The Garden of Earhthly Delights - Hieronymus Bosch

I have a large print of this in my room, and I often stop and marvel at it. There is so much going on in this painting it's unbelievable.

Dusk - Claude Monet

I have a print of this in my room. It's lovely.

Yellow and Blue - Mark Rhothko

Simple but effective. I have a calender of Rhothko painting in my room, and this is one of them.

The Perpignan Railway Station - Salvador Dali

I saw this at the Ludwig museum in Cologne, and it was really impressive and... large.


The Adaptation of St. Anthony - Hieronymus Bosch

You don't get that good an insight into a Bosch painting at this size and from a distance...

Retrat IV - Joan Miro

My parents have this in the dining room, and I really like it. I have been seeing it practically every day since I was 8.
The Scream - Edvard Munch

You all know this one.

The remote edges #9

I got a new digital camera for christmas.... my other one broke. These photographs I'm about to post are rather shitty... Same as the last 3 or so Remote Edges post... I think that I may re-photograph many of these specific locations soon...

Awesome book covers

'Coz it recreates what's in the book.


'Coz it recreates the Burroughs mystique.

'Coz of the Bosch

'Coz it does what it says in the title.

'Coz it recreates the images Borges conjures up...


This isn't an accurate representation of the book - it only picks on a small moment in the book... but it is still fascinating to look at.

'Coz it's just as surreal as the book.

The remote edges #8

The remote edges #7

These photographs could have been far better, as the sun got in the way this day and affected them...

My camera broke in my latest visit to the woods, and I'm hoping to get it fixed or I may have to buy another one... The good thing is that I'll be going to my weekly walks without any preoccupations of having to photograph.
