                                                                                                                                         at the Tate Britain – find it at “tate.org.uk” – this painter is creating a sensation

a one-time Canadian he has become “the most expensive living artist in Europe when one of his paintings, “White Canoe”, changed hands for almost $12-million at Sotheby’s”, according to the “Globe and Mail

abstract art, I thought, is finding its way back to realism

bravo

                                                                                                                                                          especially crystal clear is the fallen goblet

otherwise the lemons glow in a warm golden light enfolding everything

                                                                                                                                                                    like maybe grace

van Gogh – Still Life with Earthenware and Bottles

            Still Life with Earthenware and Bottles, 1885   

                                Vincent van Gogh
 
                                         ______

several weeks ago I was shown a process on the Internet that allowed me to set most any picture I could bring up from the web as my desktop, rather of course than the usual, generic stuff that is by default peddled, I of course sought out art

should you want to do this, find of course the picture, google it, artist naturally optional, van Gogh, Monet, mostly come up but these two are nearly inexhaustible, very often breathtaking, and will adorn serenely, sublimely, your monitor, turning it into a veritable vase for some time 

you’ll grow from there, in diversity of artists, and aesthetic verve

find the picture, even this one, click once on the right with your mouse, much like Dorothy did her shoes in “The Wizard of Oz”, click again, but on the left this time, on “Set as Background”, like magic

                                                                                                                                                                                                            change your artwork regularly

                                                                                                                                                                                                               this week this van Gogh starts up my gallery, “paintings to ponder”, I’ll call it 

poems also coming up

                                                                                                                                                                                                              hope you’ll enjoy
