World Art - December 2007

A Mesmerizing Art Gallery

Again over the holiday period I’m taking the easy way out and grabbing youtube footage to base my post around. Truth is this snippet as with the others that preceded it do inspire my artistic juices and I just hope others enjoy them too.


This particular goodie is an assembled selection of elite artworks that would feature in a dream gallery. Accompanied by a surreal operatic, “Willow” aria that lifts the experience, it is still the works themselves that will leave you spellbound.

Spanning the ages there are featured paintings from each significant era in the evolution of creative expression. Some of the choices I found striking in the discovery of new instant favourites.

I’m still questing the names of some of these divine hand painted delights, some on pottery others on canvas.

Give yourself some quiet time to truly let the pictures form in the minds eye on this artistic journey.
