Art we like to look at

I thought it might be fun to start a thread to put up pictures of well-known or unknown art that we like.
It could be photos of outdoor art or sculpture, or images of famous paintings.

I'll start out with some colorful ones! :)

    I'm understanding that this thread is for art not (necessarily) painted/done by us, right?


    I came across this picture of a painting today and got lost in it for a while...

    then I realized that just like in writing/performing music, or writing/reading poetry, or anything else of that nature,

    that it's not so much how good you play, or how technical you can write, or how exact-to-life a picture you can paint, as much as it is the way the final art piece makes the listener/reader/beholder feel.

    Rollings, that picture reminds me of a photo I have. I like it! :)

    Yes, it's art that we like to look at. Most likely it is not going to be our own.

    I like the one you put up too Rollings.

    I didn't know the real title, my words were just being descriptive! I don't claim to be an expert on art. I just like to look at it and sometimes make it. :D

    ha! Well if you just said "starry night" but didn't know that was actually the title, then you're doing pretty good, I'd say!

    I'm no expert on art either, although I am pretty sure I could spot a Van Gogh or a Monet just about anywhere.

    (I was just razzing you a little bit anyway, I'm sure you know :P )

    I ran my finger on the screen. I thought I might feel bumps.

    Yeah. I think I might be on a Van Gogh streak in here for a while. :)

    I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.

    That was neat

    Rollings, you have picked up on my yellow and green color scheme for page two. Good for you. :lol:

    Here's a pretty one with green and yellow. :) (It's not a Van Gogh though.)
