Julie Bender is insanely talented, i could never capture this with pencil or pen and she is woodburning it. INSANE!!

for thanksgiving bf and i are in VA to spend the holiday with his family. last year i went with my parents to sf to see my sister and her adorable and sweet bf, heath. i saw these prints and thought of them. sf is one of my favorite cities, and i was born there. love you adele, heath and sf!

i love these photographs by South Korean photographer Myoung Ho Lee.

he uses a blank canvas beind it to pull the tree out of the landscpe, i just love them, especially the third one down.

i love this guy! he started stenciling around montreal streets initially because he thought they needed more bike paths. he was later arrested, but given a lenient sentence attributed to public support. he has gone on to receive public comissions. love this work , and his mission.

lately, i have been on a big reading kick. now bf and i already had a pretty impressive book collection originally, but i have been buying books 4 at a time and raging through them. books of very different subject matters, at that. 
regardless, if you read my blog with any continuity, you know my love for realism painters, and this one does not disappoint. victoria reichelt paints oil on linen, exquisitely. me wants!!

i cannot understand the patience it must take to produce works of art like this, simply amazing and worth every penny.... these are gorgeous!
