I am not an expert at art, but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate art. Here is a collection of some of my favorites or some that have influenced me or some that I just happen to have come across through the years...
Nighthawks - Edward HopperI first came across this painting in a book in elementary school. The book was an anthology of stories. I don't remember what I read from that book, but I remember the painting. At the time, I didn't know it was such a popular painting. I was just thinking about what stories the people and the location had. I didn't even know the name of the painting until years later.
