What is your favourite painting?

No real favorites. I like a lot of different styles and artists. After years of shaking my head at Jackson Pollock and not understanding a thing, I think I kinda get it now and can at least look at his work in an effort to understand, rather than dismissing it. I recently read about the Bloomsbury group and fell in love with the art of Vanessa Bell, Roger Fry, and Duncan Grant. I was familiar with the writers of Bloomsbury, but not the artists or their efforts to make artistic home decor.

What is the most famous painting or work of art have you actually seen?

Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother (otherwise known as 'Whistler's Mother'). I've seen paintings by Van Gogh and Rembrandt in Amsterdam and many works of art at the Tate and other galleries in London. What a city for art!

If you could choose what talent would you choose, would be an artist or sculptor or a potter?

Potter. I'd love to be able to create usable art.

If someone offered you the chance to go anywhere in the world to see your favourite art where would you choose?

Asia, to see the variety of temples there.
