I have always loved art. There is something therapeutic about looking at art and engaging in art. I have been working with glass art for the past 3 yrs. It has been the most exciting venture I have had. Here is my latest sculpture. It is about 2 inches tall. It is the first in a series of my funky flower sculptures.

Libra,
Looks beautiful! How long does it take to create some thing like that? I took a jewelery making class a few years ago, spent at least 5hr to make a bangle! It was so nice to create something that looks beautiful. Great thread, thanks for starting BlueD!' I love those pictures you posted, girija Quote:

These paintings are from my favorite period in history. Even though I play a lot of Baroque music on my harpsichord and clavichord, the Romantic period is up there on my passionate list. The art and music from this period gives me goose-pimples.
A few weekends ago I had quite an experience that I'll have to post about in detail. I did some piano-sitting at the Frederick Collection in Ashburnham, MA www.fredereickcollection.org Their casework is just as beautiful as the music that is played on them. John |

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema..(1836-1912), is another one of my favourites.
Ask Me No More  Laurel (I especially like the plant in the piece. Have a few oleanders that I keep outside during the summer months only.)  Few artists enjoyed the success that the Dutch-born painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema achieved in the United Kingdom with his studies of semi-nudes, which were set against a background of daily life in ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt. Born in Dronryp, his art training began at the Antwerp Academy, and was completed with Baron Leys, an historical painter whose careful reconstructions of life in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries made him the ideal teacher for a painter like Alma-Tadema, whose choice of subject-matter had always been similar. But it was left to Ernst Gambert, the Belgian international art dealer to realise that in Alma-Tadema he had found himself a first-class artist. After seeing his work, Gambert immediately commissioned forty-four paintings which were eventually shown in England, where they caused an instant sensation. |
