Question Of The Day - Tuesday, April 23

[cassiopea]

Greetings!








What famous artist, dead or alive, would you want to paint your portrait?







For myself....

Rembrandt or Rubens. Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. Thomas Gainsborough. Hard to narrow it down no doubt more of others too that I'm totally forgetting. But first names that came to mind.

 

[Katie M]

It would be an honor to be painted by van Gogh.

 

[Furballsmom]

Hmmmm

Maybe Jackson Pollack - that would be amazing!

 

[DreamerRose]

Gainsborough. I would end up looking so dreamy.

 

[ashekitty]

Johannes Vermeer. I like his style.

 

[mama africa]

Frida Kahlo.

 

[mani]

Frida Kahlo.

That's an excellent idea.

 

[mama africa]

That's an excellent idea.

I like her zest for life and her sense of humor

 

[Mia6]

da Vinci

 

[Mother Dragon]

Rembrandt. He captured not only the face but the spirit and soul.

 

[Norachan]

Gustav Klimt.

 

[Tobermory]

Andrew Wyeth...but I’d rather he painted my cats. I love “Cat Nap.”

 

[neely]

Johannes Vermeer. I like his style.

I love Vermeer especially his painting of Girl with a Pearl Earring and The Milkmaid.

However, I think if I had an artist paint my portrait I might opt for Andy Warhol's pop art style.

 

[maggiedemi]

Van Gogh I guess. I don't really know many other artists. I'm not really into art.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I've always liked the architectural side of art and then landscapes; so coming up with the name for a portrait is harder. I might have to come back to this question after I think on it for a few weeks.

 

[maggiedemi]

I love Vermeer especially his painting of Girl with a Pearl Earring

I watched that Scarlett Johansson movie Girl With a Pearl Earring, but I didn't remember Vermeer's name.

 

[aliceneko]

Rembrandt. Some of his portraits are absolutely beautiful; but also Vermeer.

 

[marmoset]

Da Vinci. Really just so I could talk to him but Botticelli would probably make more sense.

Not Picasso or O'Keefe! I don't need to look like a flower or have an extra body part.

 

[Furballsmom]

LOL

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I feel it's a cliche answer, but I would like to be painted by Van Gogh.
