This is one of my favorites. It's not a painting though it's a lithograph but still good. House of Stairs - M.C Escher i love all of his work :D
 
May not necessarily be my favorite paintings, but a wonderful artist. She is actually my neighbor.

Madonna and Child by one of my all time favorite artists, William Adolphe Bouguereau.
I also love Nymphs from him. Well, actually I love all his work.

Thank you :) I've liked that for ages. It's a very simple yet very atmospheric piece.

I looked at the Nighthawk painting every day for over 15 years. My work colleague had it handing on his wall and it was always visible from my office until he retired. Great picture.
