The brave cat

Today on my way back home from work I saw this cute white Persian cat in a car next to mine. I can see the cat clearly coz the car and mine had to stop at a traffic light The thing that astonished me most was that the cat was standing on the back seat and looking out the window as if it was sight seeing. I've seen dogs doing it but not a cat coz most cats are too afraid and even hide under the car seat.

Well that's one clever and brave kitty and I wonder if it can bark also...heheh... So today's post is dedicated to the brave warrior cat and the owner (who ever you are). But the funny thing is that I can't find any nice painting on cats , most are abstract painting which I don't think the cat will agree with, lol...

So I have chosen these paintings on animals instead. These painting are by Lee Man Fong which I think you guys are familiar with (read my other posting on Lee Man Fong)......Enjoy

Rembrandt van Rijn's brilliant works

Brilliant, marvelous and genius! That’s what I said when I first saw these three painting. There are many famous painters that have certain style and method in painting his or her artworks. But this painter likes his work to have a composition of dark background and that makes his subject seems illuminated and three dimensional (don’t you think so?).

I’m not an art expert but that is what I see when I look at these three masterpieces. Rembrandt van Rijn was the artist that drew these painting. He was born in Netherlands and lived from 1606 to 1669.

Brilliant, marvelous and genius right?......Enjoy !

Potraits by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes

I’ve always wondered, how does it feels to be famous as an artist while you are still living (not when you’re already dead). Especially when one is so famous that one’s work is really recognize and highly regarded.

Let’s just say that I'm famous painter. What will I paint? Of cause I'm gonna paint a portrait of myself. Why not right? If I can I'm gonna paint my entire family. Well there are all a lot of them.

There are famous painters that are recognize in their own time because of this. He's no other than an artist named Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. He paints a nice portrait of himself while he was at the top of his career. Smart wasn’t he and he paints it the best he can coz he knew that his portrait would be highly regarded and valued. And he is absolutely right coz now his portrait is hanging nicely in a famous museum.

Well all the praise to this great artist and here are his famous portrait and a few of his work….enjoy!
