Sir Henry Moore ... old alumni of where I went to Senior school.
'I'd rather have my sculpture in the landscape, than on the most beautiful building I know'
One of his recurring themes ... ... ... King and Queen ... ... ... in Scotland, I believe, hopefully still in situ.
One of my favourite pieces of his work, yes we studied his work to GCE A level in 3D Art classes
A long-stitch tapestry I did from a kit and which my then husband had framed for me.

Lovely topic.
@Anonymous You are certainly talented, producing such a tapestry.
As my abilities in art are very limited, am I allowed to share one of my favourite paintings on this thread

I have done fishing boats on a pebble beach - tuxedo cat amongst flowers - a Mediterranean garden - anenomies in a bowl & a Middle Eastern one which is almost finished, but cannot hold the bodkin anymore 
I wouldn't like to say how long each tapestry took as they are all different sizes.
I do like the Autumn colours in the tapestry I posted a photo of.

Thanks @Anonymous
The painting is Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali. I like the whole surreal concept and the questions it raises - are they clocks or pocket watches? why are they melting? what does it mean? - and rather than offer my answers to those questions, think it better for each person viewing it to have his/her own answers and interpretation as to what it means and represents...

Hello @Mi-Amigo
Very nice picture. I agree with you @Mi-Amigo
This is a very nice topic.
Hope to continue the thread with other art items that we like.
Thank you @Anonymous
I do have some paintings of my own on the wall.
I will take one or two and post them here.
I also did "china painting" I really enjoyed that.
You need a kiln, I used the one at the college.
The Persistence of Memory - Salvador Dali ... which you @Mi-Amigo have posted as your favourite painting
I am hopeless with the Surrealists @Mi-Amigo
I just have loads of questions : what is that object which looks like it has been beached upon the shore with a bill like a duck and has a floppy pocket watch upon it
Why are the pockets watches floppy
There are ants on a tray-like pocket watch
There seems to be a solar powered block levitating
A dead tree growing out of a table
A nice seashore in the distance
Only questions, I have with the Surrealists
There were a group of talented students of Art in Senior school a couple of years above me and what they painted was superb ... Surrealist type paintings on the walls of the Art room
