As far as typical artists go, I have always thought Salvador Dali was an interesting fellow.
This piece in particular has always been one of my favourites --

Nothing deeper to my interest in this painting than that. Clingy childhood memories perhaps.
Two of my own pencil sketches (pointy feet here in fact have nothing to do with Dali):
