When Andrea and I first lived on our own, we had barely anything inside our house. Of course, we had bare white walls which we ached to decorate with nice artworks. One of our godparents, a sought-after watercolorist, gave us a watercolor painting of pink orchids. It was the first nice thing on our walls. Until now, we wish to have more paintings inside our home, even oil paintings. A lot of people share our sentiments. In overstockart.com, Van Gogh’s Starry Night tops the list of most popular oil paintings for 2007.

Monet’s Poppy Field in Argenteuil is also included in the annual list.

Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss also made the list.

How I wish we could have these great, timeless paintings hanging on our walls.
