Depending on the compositions they favor, many portrait artists also have to be good at rendering still life objects and landscapes. The objects in the background of Nelson Shanks' portrait of Princess Diana's brother or the landscapes that are part of Allan Banks' portraits come to mind.

How did you post such a huge perfect image? That's always been my favorite Renoir.

Here's a still from a guy that is famous for painting women. -Thayer

Oh Tim, I just re-painted the whole thing last night and took a digital of it with my new found photography skills!

I love that still life, can you post one of his women?

Seriously, I have found the most important thing to look for when searching for a painting or artist, is not the artist's name, or the painting's name but the Gallery, Collection or Museum's name. They will consistently have the largest jpg files that you can download without copyright. I am sure you have found if you try and blow up a small one they really look nasty.

Wanted to add, Mike, that I love the pear, and Michael did your delicious apples get thrown from Enzie's tree? ReNae, where are your images?

National Gallery?

Beth I think the National Gallery has several of his works large. Maybe AskArt.com?

No seriously

How did you post that large image? I've been trying to post a still life, but since it's in landscape orientation the 400 wide format makes it a postage stamp. Reducing the resolution to 79 lost all the detail. I had to dump it.

Pastel Still

An old pastel. Before I fell in love with oils.

ReNae,

Try not lowering the resolution. What's the web going to do when monitors can display more than 72 and 92 dpi?
