Change in Seasons

Art: Deux Femmes Dans une Clairere by
Louis Dericks : 1864

The quick change in weather inspired this piece. I just love viewing this on a cold day, when it's warm inside :).

MAGIC

Art: Indigo Fairy by Julie Fain

First I must say, by "magic" I do not mean the literal sense of the word. But really it's that feeling of something extraordinary, for lack of a better word.

This piece makes me feel that feeling and also because I just got engaged last month. So I'm still in that magical feeling phase. So I felt this was the perfect piece to post at this time.

Isn't there something that makes life feel "magical" to you, that feeling that is indescribable?

Movie Tribute - "Wolfman"

Art: Moonlit Night by Ivan Aivazovsky : 1849

So, I believe this is my first movie tribute. I decided to post this because I got the dvd "Wolfman" and I'm seeing it tonight.

If you hadn't known already, I love, love, horror movies. And when I saw this piece it reminded me of the movie.

It's ironic, because I believe it is when there is a full moon that the "werewolf" makes it's appearance.

Serenity

Art: Hawaiian Night by Christian Riese Lassen

Is there a specific place that you go to for some serenity? You would think, "How can I find serenity in a place?" "It doesn't "speak" or give words of encouragement!" But it does provide some comfort. And I think this piece shows such a phenomenon.

I am definitely adding Hawaii, as a destination spot on my list really soon :).

Bright Future

Art: Stetind i tåke by Peder Balke : 1864

Have you ever felt like you were in a desolate place in the present, but you knew that a bright (prosperous) future awaits you?

Well this art piece made me think of this idea. I also saw a great movie (The Road [2009]) on DVD last night, that served as an inspiration for this!

It is a must see! When you do see it, tell me if you saw the relation between it and this art piece.

Community

Art: Children's Games by Pieter Brueghel

I came across this piece and I really like it. To me it displays what we usually define as a community, whether it's people playing or working together.

It seems busy, busy, busy....and I like that :) !

Nature's Wonders

Art: Yellowstone by Cathy Busha : 1

The beautiful change in the weather inspired this post. People are now planning more hikes pool parties, or simple picnics in a park. Whatever it is, it feels great to be outside!

Some areas are blessed with marvelous monuments of nature, and this is just one of them.
