Well, it’s been a very busy semester, but I have a few moments on this long weekend to work up another lecture. I think the next one, on Baroque Art, will have to wait until after Christmas. I may also do one then on Classical vs. Romantic Art, but then we are back to the beginning: Realism and the beginning of abstraction, which commenced the first series of such posts. BTW: all these posts are clickable on my home page. Please add to this discussion: what works do you enjoy and why, whom have I omitted that you would like to see discussed, etc?

Art Appreciation/Education ping.

Perhaps we can not only have time with family to be thankful, but maybe we can have some time to debate art issues (which I dearly love to do).

Many thanks to my cooking husband so that I had time to work this up.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

(Oh, yes, and let me know if you want on or off this ping list.)

It is scary and sad to think that those stupid idiot Islamists currently rioting in Europe would destroy all these paintings and other treasures of Western civilization without hesitation. The Europeans need to wake up.

I just returned from a treat-for-the-tummy Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's......only to come home and see there's a treat-for-the-eyes on my computer.

Thanks so much for this marvelous Thanksgiving gift.

Bookmarking for tomorrow's leisurely reading and soaking-up-details in each piece of art. I'm not going to do a thing tomorrow.....no participating in the mall crush.....just lazin' around and freepin'.....and soaking up great art.
