May I present to you the fountains at Bellagio by Night.

Milton Avery seems to be an artist falling through the cracks, so I choose to highlight him. This is Sea Grasses and Blue Sea from 1958 and is based on his memories of P-town. More then just about any of his works it moves towards almost complete abstraction. I have never been a fan of the color blue, but this painting could almost make me change my mind.

Unable to find a better image.

The Gulf Stream

Can't go wrong with JSS

Starry Night over the Rhone

My favorite painting is "Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom" by Ilya Repin.

"Leonardo’s extended analyses of the behaviour of water combine mathematical theories of motion with acute observation."

It's interesting that the rooms Monet stayed at and painted in at the Savoy could be pinpointed using the perspective of his view from the rooms in the paintings.
