Inspiring Minds

If you like the new digs, I should give credit for inspiration that came from here, here, here, here and here:
(If you don't like it, it's all me.)

Artist James Naccarato

A truly innovative young artist whose paintings draw you into their midst and their emotions. Inspired in part by Salvador Dali, his surrealistic imagery speaks with a depth and complexity that surpasses words and will remain in your mind long after you view it.

Thinkspace Gallery

The best online gallery I have found. If you want to know what is going on in the LA Art Scene, this is my favorite site to cruise.

Artist Oliver Vernon

View his work online at Lineage Gallery. Geometrics, landscapes and life forms come together in swirling abstract beauty.

Artist Blaine Fontana

One of my most recent favorites. This is why I love to cruise art galleries online. Click on "Animal Council" in the left sidebar on his homepage to be inspired. You lucky people in Pennsylvania and Colorado can see his work in person at shows in August and December respectively.

"vin" the SuperBrain

Last, but not least, many thanks to SuperBrain "vin" at Dummies Guide to Google Blogger (Beta) for the excellent explanation of how to add a background to your blog.

Wacky Wednesday -- "Hooray!"


Upon arriving in our hotel room after five straight hours of road warrior travel, Baby K blurted out an energetic "Hooray!" Thinking she must be pleased to be out of her stroller and car seat, I turned to find her gleefully wielding the mighty, mighty television remote. All hail the power.
