  What is your favorite painting, and why do you love it?

  Having been an art student raised by an art student, I have seen my share of paintings. When I was young, my mom would pull out her art history books and show me all these different paintings. And as I grew older, my favorite painting changed. At first, it was Renoir's "Girls at the Piano." Then, it became van Gogh's "Starry Night." And while that one remains a favorite, I believe I prefer Monet's "Japanese Footbridge."
  
  When I look at the painting, I feel peaceful. I am left with a sense of calm and wonder. And that's why I prefer Impressionists over the abstract. Abstract disturbs, but Impressionism quells the chaos.
