when I grow up - an art collection

At dinner yesterday I was asked whose work I would choose if I could have any painting to hang in my home.   A difficult question,  I wanted several.   Having established that I wouldn't be allowed a Basquiat, a Pollock, a Hopper, a Turner ....... 
 ..... the conversation reminded me how much I would love to possess a painting by the impressionist artist Berthe Morisot.   (Don't get excited - this is NOT going to happen!)   Contemporary to the great names of the movement and wife to Edward Manet, there is a lightness of touch to her paintings  and a certain femininity that speaks to me.








And how about you?  Which artist's work do you dream of possessing?
