Ernst Hahaeckel


While shopping at Anthropology I found this book on Ernst Haeckel and thought his forms were beautiful. Ernst Haeckel was a biologist who lived in the 1800s and studied single celled organisms.

His work has turned into Art Forms of Nature.

I think we always don't have to go too far to find something to paint!

Life Immitates Art

How I see Art

O.k. It has been awhile since I've posted on my blog. I wanted to download some pictures with an explanation or sermon about art, but the posting of pictures is unavailable right now....soooooo; that means I talk about art even though I don't have pictures!

I had a glass of wine so I'm feeling free.. had a stressful day...so I wanted to say that while in Paris I took some pictures of street people; doing their art. One girl was singing jazz and was dressed for the part just perfect with her dress and shades! It was very cool and classy....the other guy was a puppeteer which I thoroughly enjoyed and was really into it.

My feeling is this beyond the obvious....I think life is an art...we are art...how we appear and act to other people is an art form. I always admired people that were flamboyant because they made a statement about how they wanted to project themselves. That they wanted to SAY SOMETHING. I myself have always wanted to break out of conformity never quite getting there...just like my paintings. (interesting)! Maybe I am physco analyzing??!!@#$% Isn't art an expression? It doesn't always have to be on canvas , clay or sculpture.

I see art everywhere. In people, places and things. So this will be evident in this blog.
I guess I had to say all that in explaining why I'm putting these pictures on this site!

The Louvre (Paris, France)


This is the exit or entrance to the Louvre. Very sleek! The painting belowe
I thought was very sensual, magical or mystical. Think she's casting a love spell on him??????


My first trip to the Louvre and I was blown away. I loved the Renaissance look with the ultra modern. Kind of like the yin and yang. Opposites that compliment.


One of my favorite paintings was "The Young Martyr" by Paul Delaroche 1855 oil.



On our way going to the Louvre on the backside was this young maiden tucked away in a corner by herself
playing the flute. The sound was so enchanting you could imagine yourself back in the days when it must have been an everyday scene!
