    It's obvious.

    Should be easy then.

    Our mystery artist studied at the Boston Museum School where he later taught. He was much in demand as a portraitist, and later became a leading figure in the development of American Impressionism.

    Not really - I am not familiar with American artists. I already know the name of this artist but haven't found the titles of his paintig yet.
    It's Frank Weston Benson.

    The first painting was his portrait of Mary Sullivan.

    Whose turn does that make it - mine or Olga's? I'm quite happy to defer...

    {edit} - and there I've missed it! Your turn, Olga!

    I changed my mind if you don't mind :-)



    As a child I was amazed by this picture and always hoped that they would escape.

    Got it! It's Konstantin Makovsky's Children Running From A Thunderstorm.

    This one shouldn't be too difficult (but then, I said that the last time!):

    Albrecht Dürer is one of my favorite artists,
    Adam and Eve 1507.
    It's unbelievable that this picture was painted more than 5 centuries ago!!!

    Here is the next picture:

    Aron Wiesenfeld. "Dog"

    I love his stuff, there's always a mystery behind them.


    I'll post a painting soon.

    The artist name is Aron Wiesenfeld and the first picture title it Dog if I am not mistaken, the second David and the last one is Train Tunnel.

    Sorry while I was looking for a picture to post I missed my turn. Next time.
