10 Greatest Artists Of All Time

Who were the greatest among all the painters? Names like DaVinci, Michaelangelo and Van Gogh are frequently on lists of the greatest. No doubt a list of the best is a subjective endeavor. I enjoy reading and learning about art and artists. Here are my top ten (all are European):

Christmas Card Sunflowers

Marie wanted to do a joint painting for our Christmas card this year. I chose a photo and the composition. Marie and I both drew the initial underpainting and chose the palette. We took turns painting. She would paint one day, and I painted the next, until we were finished. I didn't touch the sky, but we both painted all other areas. She had a good idea!

Georgia O'Keeffe Country ~ New Mexico ~ Lake Abiquiu and "El Pedernal"

Check out Marie's New Mexico paintings here.

Plaza Blanca ~ The "White Place", New Mexico Geology

From Georgia O'Keeffe's studio in her home in the old pueblo of Abiquiu, New Mexico, she could see this "white place" which she painted. Three miles down a gravel road took her to this eerie geological feature. The vista here is very soft and light with its subtle warm colors.

El Padernal, a flat topped mountain in New Mexico.

Georgia O'Keeffe had her ashes scattered on top of this mountain when she died in the 80's.

New Mexican Cactus

This small cactus was at my feet as I sat with Marie and painted near the "White Place", which is across the Chama River from where Georgia O'Keeffe lived in Abiquiu, NM.
