 NighthawksEdward Hopper There's just something about this man's paintings that just resonates with me. Many times I am alone, but not lonely. I could be in a group for a while and realize that I haven't spoken to anyone at all - that I'm observing them, not with them. Sometimes I'm 'awakened' from this reverie-like state with the question, "Why are you sad"? To which I'll... (See the whole comment)

 Still life and three puppiesPaul Gauguin There are several reasons that I want to share this. First, to finish off what I had started: after Babushka brought me the “Moscow Courtyard”, I had a chance to visit Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. There was a Paul Gauguin exhibition at Met at the time and there I saw Still life and three puppies for the first time. It very much stoo... (See the whole comment)

Antonov This is yet another work by Mr. Antonov, painted with vivid realism, to the extent that these fruits represent the essence and the ideal of their kind, as proper art should strive to portray. The logical ornamentation, the masterful depiction of light and shadow, and the abundance of detail in this painting almost cause one to hunger for the fruits... (See the whole comment)

 The Guitar PlayerJohannes Vermeer The lady in this painting is not the typical modern pop-entertainer. She is delicate, elegantly dressed, and genuinely appreciative of fine music, as evidenced in her curious and almost beaming eyes. Quite fittingly, in her background is a painting of a landscape with lush growth and bright colors. Not only does it further reinforce the theme of th... (See the whole comment)
