OTHER WORKS OF ART I LIKE...............

Although I enjoy lots of art, this one The Creation of Adam by Michaelangelo is a favorite. I do have this print in my home, though not on a wall. It is just waiting for a "spot". This print reminds me of our inability to save ourselves. It is by Gods Grace and Mercy that we are saved...nothing that we can do in and of ourselves. There is much I could say about this picture, but I will not give a Humanities Lecture... :)

Okay, now I know that this is not comparable to Michaelangelo...but someday we will have this print, and it's brother below for our gameroom...:) Cory and I love to play cards...get together with friends...despite what the pictures may denote...we don't cheat...:)

This Print is called "A Friend In Need"

This print is "Dogs Playing Poker"

Does anyone else have any favorite Artists that they would like to share?

I like anything that reminds me of life growing up on the farm... and I collect "Mail Pouch Barn" stuff - paintings, drawings, photos, etc.

Keith likes Salvador Dali and Ansel Adams. The latter is more photography type art.

I do like Ansel Adams. There is one he does of a lighthouse with water ready to crash against it...but if you look really close there is a person standing outside the door...they would never survive the water...it was very cool. Mail Pouch Barn stuff huh...good to know!
