I guess it's possible that I have been a bit distracted

Sorry all... the song lyric/blog title today says it all. I know, I'm way behind. Some "ish" going on... I will try to do better... and hope that things get better as well :)

Day 10 - Your favorite art piece

Because I like to paint so much (although I'm not very talented) when I think of my favorite art piece I think my favorite painter, Andre Derain.

Although there are some drawings, sculptures and etc. that I like as well, I think my all time favorite art piece is a painting by Andre Derain. He's not very well known, at least, not outside of the art world.

He isn't a big name, but I think he is uber talented. He paints in the style of "fauvism" which funny enough is my most favorite style to paint in as well.

For those that aren't familiar, fauvism means: bold and distorted forms, vivid colors. A big name that you might recognize that is also a "fauvist" is Henri Matisse.

But anyways, back to my favorite painting. I have always had a love for water/boats, and so of course my favorite painting involves that. "Boats in the Harbor" is my favorite piece :)
