My favorite historical art period? right now! I think that is because I am right here, right now. I get to enjoy doing or painting anything I want. We are blazing a new historical art period, right now! Sooooo exciting to see all the art that different people come up with. I love this web site.
John Singer Sargent is my favorite artist. However, it is very hard to choose. There are many modern day artist that I like also. Some of them are on this site!
When the work touches my soul, that is my favorite period. Wander through a museum, and you will find your soul being activated by many styles, with each one touching a different facet of your inner being. In that moment, that is your favorite historical period. Never limit your definition of yourself by naming any one favorite anything– you are an infinite multi-dimensional being, with infinite potential.
I love John Singer Sargent and Renoir because of the delicacy with which they do portraits. I have yet to attempt portraiture, but it will happen. In the meantime, I absolutely love anything organic and colorful, and I also relish the fact that art can now be anything! What a freeing experience! I just get excited even thinking of all the possibilities!!!
Since each one is so different it’s hard to pick one out. I like a variety.
Ste kdaj pomislili, kako prenesti slikarjevo umetnino v unikatno pletenino? Motiv mora biti tak, da ga lahko zanko za zanko spleteš. Kot gobelin.
No, moje iskanje se je v mojih “zgodnjih letih” ustavilo pri mojstrih kubizma in surrealizema (Picasso, Dali, Miro). Njihove konceptualne podobe, v katerih sem vedno znova iskala smisel, so me pritegnile, da sem njihova dela v knjigah eno za drugim preucevala in razmišljala, ali jih lahko obdelam.
Na potovanjih po velikih mestih sem se vedno oddvojila od skupine in po muzejih sama raziskovala in obcudovala njihove originale.
Tako sem se z njihovimi deli zbližala, postala so mi všec, pa ceprav so se mi v zacetku zdela malo »nora«.
In ce me danes vprašate, katero obdobje umetnosti mi je všec, prisegam na sodobno umetnost in španske slikarje.
Translation: Have you ever thought about how to transform a painted artwork into unique knitting? The motif has to be simple enough to be used as a knitting pattern. Like needle point stitching. Well, my searching brought me in my early years to the masters of cubism and surrealism (Picasso, Dali, Miro). Their conceptual figures in which I was always looking for the meaning, seemed attractive enough to me, to keep me studying them in books, and thinking about them, one after another. During my travels to large cities I always used to leave the group and to do my own research in museums and admire the originals of masterpieces. That’s how I became close to some most important art pieces and gained understanding and admiration although they seemed somewhat “crazy” at first.
And if you ask me today which art period is my favorite, I prefer contemporary art and Spanish painters.

Všec sta mi Leonardo da Vinci in Monet, Slovenska umetnica Dora Plastenjak, Ivana Kobilica in Božidar Jakac. Najlepša umetnina pa je narava še posebno spomladi in jeseni, ljudje, njihova kultura, navade in drugacnost.
Translation: I like Leonardo da Vinci and Monet, Slovenian artists Dora Plestenjak, Ivana Kobilica and Bozidar Jakac. And the most beautiful art piece is the nature itself, expecially in spring and fall and people, their cultures, habits and variety.
To answer your question regarding my favorite artist is like taking me into an Italian pastry shop and saying choose one! The artist I love are light pastries. Each has is own quality and eye appeal, plus there are times I enjoy the dark paintings for Rembrandt or the passionate colors of Van Gogh or the way Joseph Zbukvic handles atmosphere and mood in watercolor and let’s not forget how David Curtis handles light and mood in watercolor. You get the message…the list goes on.

John Singer Sargent
I love your analogy. Art is not only so personal, but that taste can also vary with your mood. It is so nice to have an artist with great talent like you be so humble on a subject like this. I agree across most of the arts it would be hard to choose 1 favorite.
