Art (and Pinterest) Appreciation Month

Hey! It's Art Appreciation Month! Did ya hear that, Art?

Pierre Bonnard

Today, I present you with-

a rather random sampling of art 

that makes me happy to look at over and over again.

I love paintings, photography, design, cover art, packaging, travel posters, 

children's books, old & new, vintage ads, clever stuff, funny stuff, you name it...

Basically, all things that have helped make Pinterest the hit that it is!

Here are links to a few of my boards, just in case you're curious - 

painters I love, more great art, contemporary art, photography, installation

great book covers and more...

Here - travel posters and fabulous vintage art & illustration

The number of images on Pinterest continues to astound me.

There are soooo many talented artists and creative people 

working today and many that I have only recently learned about.

The seemingly endless number of natural wonders in the world 

can strike total awe.

Ok, this is a joke, but Edourdo Noriega is a natural wonder ;)

With stunning architecture to admire, objects to drool over,

and beautiful and/or cool interiors to envy, it's like a guide on- 

.

The plethora of adorable animal photos and movie star pics is almost 

beyond comprehension!

Just how many images of Audrey Hepburn & Marilyn Monroe 

are there out there? 

but I digress, please appreciate for yourself....

Moholy-Nagy

I've had to limit my time on Pinterest and I promise I do not receive any kick backs 

from them. I am simply in awe. Sure, there's a lot of crap on there, too.

Women, stop dieting! just stop it.

I only regret that it will be impossible to travel to every destination 

I have pinned onto my Must Visit board!

But,  you never know...

Thanks for stopping by!
