"Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists." Marcel Proust

Welcome to my art history blog. The format is simple and the purpose is to show you a piece of art, give you a little background, and leave the rest up to you. I make my own line of jewelry that can be found at www.youngestdaughter.com. Now I have added a vintage cookbook blog because I like the pictures more than anything else.

As an artist, I occassionally do copies of art that I want to learn more from. One of the pieces I did was the Gulf Stream by Homer.
It was hard to do because every since that stupid movie (great movie, great director) I have an unbelievable fear of sharks. So much that I won't go into any water over my head. Not even a swimming pool (see the original Thunderball, 007 movie) and the Homer has easily a half dozen of the beggers swimming around the boat. I had seen this picture, Narrow Escape, but from the looks of it, I'm thinking there was no escape....
No way am I ever going boating on the ocean!
I think Copley is arguably the greatest painter of the 18th century and Watson is arguably the greatest painting of the eighteenth century.
I know I must sound crazy. But I intend to write a piece about it nonetheless! Lol!
