Paintings & painters

Lawrence Alma-TademaArt Renewal Center , Museum Syndicate 

“Spring” – One of Alma-Tadema’s best-known paintings and justifiably so.


Meindert HobbemaArt Renewal Center , Museum Syndicate , Web Gallery of Art 

“The avenue at Middelharnis” – Not a great landscape painting, but one that has emotional resonance for me, as it hung on my parents’ living-room wall for many years, and reminded my mother of the town where her father grew up.


Edward HopperArt Renewal Center , Museum Syndicate 

“Nighthawks” (1942) – Not only Hopper’s most famous painting, but one of the most recognizable in American art, and one that anticipates the look of film noir, whose development Hopper may have influenced.


Rodney MatthewsThe Official Rodney Matthews Website 

“The Spirit” (1980) (cover art for Magnum’s Chase the Dragon) and “Sanctuary” (1981) – “Sanctuary” was intended as the inside spread of a gatefold sleeve, which, unfortunately, the record company decided it could not afford.


Arthur RackhamArt Renewal Center , Museum Syndicate 

“… only a pack of cards!” (1907)


Patrick WoodroffePatrick Woodroffe – Author, Poet, Painter & Sculptor  

“Sad Wings of Destiny” (cover art for Judas Priest’s album of the same name) – One of Woodroffe’s most restrained and least whimsical paintings, and thus one of his strongest.
