Art

 

Hi Friends and welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we give you 4 questions each week to ponder and answer.  It also gives you a chance to see how other Bloggers feel about things and an opportunity to make new friends.

This week let's talk about art.

1. Are you artistic in any way and if so, how so? Knitting, crochet, drawing, painting, writing lovely word art, home décor, lovely meals?  There are many ways to be artistic.

I paint and use my paintings as headers for this blog. I guess that's artistic.  I crochet too.

2. Does any art hang on your walls or grace your tables or shelves at home? How about your front door or windows.. what about your yard?

I have two Amish girl portraits hanging on the wall, 2 portraits of cowboy children and a very large Leonid Afremov hanging above my paino.

3. Do you have a favorite artist or artists and do you have a favorite piece of art?   I like the art of Edouard Léon Cortès. who was called  "the Parisian Poet of Painting" . His rainy day, snowy day paintings are wonderful.

4.  Home décor can be art. When you  bought things for your home did you plan out the décor or did it all just fall together. Was there a theme?   I never had the money to plan.  I have hand me downs for the most part.

If you are interested in learning about art, may I recommend Sister Wendy from the BBC?  Her lecture series on art is available on YouTube HERE  and are quite enlightening and entertaining.   She will help you see art in a brand new way.
