    I enjoy and collect watercolors. Like Strike, I know what I like when I see it. Here are a few I display in the house.

    Literature my friend. I love reading and I love writing.

    Oh, you said visual art? Well in that case I shall mention murals and old paintings, preferably of historical characters or other history-related art.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    I like portraits as such. There is something of a dark moodiness visible in them that I enjoy gazing at. More to be seen than just the models in my opinion.

    Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring is definitely one of the best portraits.

    Same here:
    Something about the 2 dimensions and the sense of depression with which it is painted is very appealing to me. Speaking strictly with the lack of knowledge I have for Puritan art/portrait.
