just for fun

making the rounds on the internet 
is a fun "quiz" asking us to name our
15 favorite artists in 15 minutes or less.
in other words, no researching/agonizing...
just a quick, from the gut list.
here's mine 
(it's a bit more, shall we say, eclectic than the ones i've seen).

beatrix potter
the wyeths (i know, that's cheating!)
carl and karin larsson (that too!)
andy goldsworthy
william morris
leonardo da vinci
mary azarian
sabra field
william b. hoyt
ansel adams
trina schart hyman
yann arthus-bertrand
m c escher
frank lloyd wright
and my favorite,
mother nature

who's on your list?

  5. Great pic and great lists. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I don't know all the people on some folks lists (including yours), so I'm going to have to check them out before I choose my 15-without-thinking list. Thanks!
