ABC Wednesday - G is for some Great artists

Once again it is time to join in the fun at ABC Wednesday. This weeek G is our focus and continuing with the artist theme, G is for some great artists!

Thomas Gainsborough - the 18th century English painter.

I still remember doing a paint-by-number of "The Blue Boy" when I was a teenager. It took forever but I did enjoy doing it.

Paul Gauguin - He was"was a leading Post-Impressionist artist, painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist and writer. His bold experimentation with colouring led directly to the Synthetist style of modern art while his expression of the inherent meaning of the subjects in his paintings, under the influence of the cloisonnist style, paved the way to Primitivism " (from Wikipedia)

Vincent Van Gogh - one of my favourite artists; probably one of the most famous and most reproduced. Who doesn't know his sunflowers or starry night sky? Visit his online gallery.

 

Francesco Goya - "was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and as the first of the moderns. " (Wikipedia)

El Greco - was a painter, sculptor, and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. (Wikipedia)
