    You should google image search it. It is pretty much amazing.



    Yes... that painting is marvelous. The gestures of the young couple are so telling. I had seen it before, but did not know who the artist was. Lovely painting.
    That reminds me of another paiting with a young couple. The artist is Albert Edelfelt, and the painting is called "Värnamon markkinoilla" or "Suru" (sorrow). After six years of hard work the couple just found out their savings are worthless and they have to wait another six years before they can get married.

    Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing. Her hair was golden as the sun's rays and her soul as clear and blue as her eyes.

    Always do that, wild ducks do. They shoot to the bottom as deep as they can get, sir — and bite themselves fast in the tangle and seaweed — and all the devil's own mess that grows down there. And they never come up again. - The Wild Duck, Henrik Ibsen.

    Because the one in my signature isn't large enough...



    Salvador Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    My favorite painters are Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Edward Degas. They're all unpredictable, and leaves you craving to know more.

    It's just fantastic how they put the mystery in their paintings, and there's always more to it than looking at a pretty picture.

    James Jean is my favorite at the moment:

    I love this painting, too. This summer went to poster store and bought this. It reminds me of another Magical Realism painter I like alot too, Rob Gonsalves. Check Gonsalves out when you get a chance. I think you will like him too.

    One of my favourites by Louis Wain. Not sure of the name of it, though...
