I am starting this blog simply to post my favorite art. I am not an art historian. I am an out of work psychologist. This is more of a fan site for art than an educational one, although if you learn something all the better. I especially like to explore themes, and I have a particular penchant for nudes. If you have comments on the art, please post them. If you are in fact an expert in art, or know something about any of the works I've posted, please post those comments too.
