Christ, what a fantastic choice of paintings. I wish those artists were alive and I could pay them to paint the countryside where I grew up.
If I were to choose one of those paintings to hang on my well, I'd probably go for Litteczky. Those summer evenings and watching shadows grow longer and longer in our farm while the fading sun was warming the brick walls are one of my sweetest childhood memories.
Sorry for getting so nostalgic, but your post just made me emotional, good job!
Yeah, I know what you mean and understand. Unfortunately most, if not all the artists are not with us, so their work remains the only connection with this world. I'm glad these paintings had such an effect on you.
