Your blog gives a stopping off and resting type of indulgence when we can lose ourselves in art for a short time in such a busy world.

My husband is fond of Museums and that is how I learned about some famous artists. I learned about Degas, just now, from this post of yours. The simple pallet of shades from only one colour proves his artistry all the more.<br />Also your post shows your own ingenuity of using Ballet for the letter B, while at the same time informing us about an artist who's name begins with the letter "D".MunirGhiasuddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232362559666320301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-29598370955935655722014-04-02T11:58:02.709-07:002014-04-02T11:58:02.709-07:00He is an agent looking for stars...He is an agent looking for stars...EvalinaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560920752412411766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-5680946779409156472014-04-02T10:39:50.577-07:002014-04-02T10:39:50.577-07:00Love Degas' ballet paintings.

Easier, and he did not have to pay the models, I am thinking. And he was indoors where it was warmer.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-28220509471881269792014-04-02T06:38:28.985-07:002014-04-02T06:38:28.985-07:00Degas did a lot of dancers, didn't he?Degas did a lot of dancers, didn't he?Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.com
