YOUR FAVOURITE PAINTINGS...

A Mermaid by J W Waterhouse 

Following a recent post regarding the best-loved Pre-Raphaelite paintings, the following are suggestions collected from your comments here, and from friends on Twitter and Facebook. The VV is very happy that so many of you chose work by J W Waterhouse - a current favourite of her own, even though he is not strictly a Pre-Raphaelite, being of the next generation. But his work is definitely in 'the mode'.

    It is impossible to choose a favourite. Each painting is as beautiful and magical as the next. Thanks for posting them all together. It was a feast for the eyes!

    It's so fun to see what everyone voted for. I agree with Debs. It is impossible to choose. These are all so dreamy and lovely.
