That is gorgeous. I think John Atkinson Grimshaw has a new admirer of his work. I need to go look up more of his pieces. Are they all of this nature? The more I look at it, the more I like it. I am also quite the fan of Monet. I love the soft colors and dappled light he uses in his...

You're right when you say that particular style of art isn't for everyone. I find it interesting, but it's not something I would EVER want hanging in my home. :D That's the kind of stuff that you don't want to see, but you can't stop yourself. I am also not a huge fan of Dali type art. It sort...
