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.

This is Michelangelo's version of the expulsion from Eden.

Creation of Adam - Michelangelo

Michelangelo's Creation of Adam from the Sistine Chapel.

Michelangelo shows God creating Adam, with Eve in His arm. Obviously this differs from other Biblical accounts of Eve being created from Adam's rib.
