The & #39;Art that Sid likes& #39; thread. Starting off with J.C. Leyendecker.
I missed doing the artist thread and spamming the feed with cool pictures.

Howard Pyle. & #39;When the World was Young.& #39;
I& #39;m a sucker for great romance paintings. There& #39;s a razor-thin line between honest or just theatrical for any subject, but most romance pictures in particular fall on the wrong side into schmalz. So, I love seeing it done well.

Howard Pyle. & #39;The Mermaid& #39;
Another favorite. This was Pyle& #39;s last painting, which he left unfinished - he died while on a trip with his family in Italy at 58.

Howard Pyle. & #39;An Attack on a Galleon& #39;
I can& #39;t actually make a top 10 favorite paintings, but if I had to, this one would make it in.

You might have noticed that the same 5-8 names keep popping up in this thread. That will continue. The 80/20 rule very much applies to my favorite artists.

N.C. Wyeth. & #39;Blind Pew& #39;
Btw, this piece is 1) Enormous, and 2) nowhere near this yellow, especially where the underpainting shows. I haven& #39;t seen a good photo of it online, but it& #39;s much moodier and bluer.

I& #39;d posted a picture of a rather bad copy earlier without realizing it. Thanks @FerraraKev for the real one!
