You'll love it. He is rather different, I think, from his contemporaries and was also noted for his remarkable black and white woodcuts, as well as for one of the more truly self-revealing self-portraits ever. At least in my opinion.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-44452227404656608132014-10-13T18:31:16.031-04:002014-10-13T18:31:16.031-04:00Me either, Joan. :) As to 'serious' books,...Me either, Joan. :) As to 'serious' books, yes. But I'm still trying to finish up my thriller/mystery/crime list before moving on. There are just not enough hours in the day.

Felix Vallotton seems to have had a similar vision as David Hockney. The name is new to me, but what a modern look for someone born in 1865!Mark D.

I would never want to live in a place that didn't have four seasons.<br /><br />You're right about the 'back to school' urge when autumn comes. I hated school and dreaded it each year, but in the fall, I still want to buy virgin notebooks and pencils, and the cool air clears my head. I'm ready to read more serious books.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-18175513407269495822014-10-13T07:36:57.196-04:002014-10-13T07:36:57.196-04:00These are great.

The wind hasn't picked up yet, but it's starting to gently blow leaves around.<br /><br />It's perfect sit outside and read weather. Or sit inside and drink tea and read weather.<br /><br />Nice choice of artwork. The Valloton is new to me, very nice.<br /><br />A book you might like is The Rosie Project, light but fun. Not a mystery though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
