Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

We could paint a mural using all our color-related posts! Wouldn't that be fun?

MarsGal I've been aware of Eric Whitacre's works but the "Virtual Choir" is new to me. I found the Seal Lulaby to be especially agreeable. The entire post was extremely informative and a great listening experience; I'm happy you posted it.

Kelly just to avoid any confusion, in Israel they don't use Christian names; mostly they use Hebrew or ethnic Semitic names.  Likewise, the practice of christening---in the Christian context---is not observed.

Hi Radioman34
I stand corrected.

Spent a little time (and very little money) at the local Friends of the Library Book Sale. Came away with Roman Art by George M. A. Hanfmann (pub: New York Graphic Society) and Salvadore Dali, Exploring the Irrational by Edmund Swinglehurst. The first thing I thought when I saw the cover of the Dali was that someone was having a major migraine, it isn't all of the painting. Here is the full painting. http://www.artwallpaper.eu/Paintings/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/26/7951/Salvador-Dali-Paintings-7.jpg How so very strange, but then, most of his art is.

MarsGal, if you're ever in the neighborhood, you should go to the Dali Museum in Tampa/St.Petersburg, FL  It's amazing.

Here is a compilation of some of Jean Henri Gaston Giraud, aka Moebius. It doesn't hurt that the music is by Robert Rich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CBrGbpC6UQ
I'm am rather fond of SciFi, so I found much of his works interesting.

What has happened with all our "art lovers" here?  No posts since May, and I am sorely missing the beauty we could find here!

WOW MarsGal - I could not stop watching that and was mesmerized to the end.  What versatile artist, what visions he had!  I loved it.  I grew up with the "older generation " of cartoons drawn artists and though  Moebius was not a stranger I haven't read or seen anything of his.

Thanks for the link to his life.

Here is a site on which I spent over an hour and I'm not done yet.

Tinteretto really knew how to paint beards!
In school, my art teacher was very enthusiastic about him.  I didn't like much his crowd paintings, but the details on portraits are so realistic.


Tomereader1

How do you get the pictures to come up?


Radioman34

I wonder how this compares to the MOMA in New York.

MarsGal. That Itube was terrific. Not gotten into the other yet.  Seems like this type of work not shown or done anymore. Every year in my city all the Schools from age 6 to 19 have a competition on Drawing. They all then appear as a part of the News paper. Unbelievable what these young people can do.  Of all my Grands and Great Grands I have one 12 year old GD. She has been doing it since age 5. No other hobbies and great. I think I have her age 6 first one someplace in S and F.

Bubble.  I envy people who can Carve also. My father was very good when it came to Furniture etc. The man who use to live next door to me was fantastic on Carving Birds and animals.  He quit a few years ago and I don't know why.  Just gave up doing anything.

The other day I got reminded of Two Steps from Hell, not a group but a company. Saw this YouTube which has a piece of artwork that I just love. It must be the mood I've been in, combined with all the SciFi I've been reading. The combo of the music and the art is just awesome, IMO. I would love to have that piece of art on my media room wall. Unfortunately, the posting does not include the artist's name.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwJj2EpC8vg

Thank you, Bubble, for getting the Art board going again, and for this wonderful information on the Ghent Altarpiece.

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial in Budapest, Hungary to honor the people (mainly Budapest Jews in Budapest during World War II who were shot at that very spot. They were ordered to take off their shoes, and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. It represents their shoes left behind on the bank.  It's a small picture but it can be enlarged by clicking on it

The Shoes make the most moving memorial I've ever seen. John and I both stood silently and wept.

And from the shoes one can tell how many young were among them. How soon many things have been forgotten  now . Things are being repeated over again now. A promise not kept.

So very sad indeed...I dont think our world knows half what goes on, or half of what has taken place...
