Ladies Only

<span style="font-size: large;">I picked up a great piece of artwork over the weekend. It was on sale. Seriously, art on sale. What could be better?</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLazRji7FUsR1auubdIr6R_LHDOZaQHOnsrjEm1-Fb64HNSWbE_7uzc_FOzrjY6RLVTu2789QrY1qY-Mg_BCHD4T_v2hrnlbZn9kT4O1jhqBPOv4SvapBSo4hUefNV0_oFFHof4l-_fKA/s1600/IMG_4792.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLazRji7FUsR1auubdIr6R_LHDOZaQHOnsrjEm1-Fb64HNSWbE_7uzc_FOzrjY6RLVTu2789QrY1qY-Mg_BCHD4T_v2hrnlbZn9kT4O1jhqBPOv4SvapBSo4hUefNV0_oFFHof4l-_fKA/s400/IMG_4792.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's a fairly small piece, just a canvas (I might frame it later), so I've been moving it around and propping it up in different spots. Still not sure where it will land, but probably in my bedroom. It's titled "A Day at the Spa." I could use one of those.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Art is such a visceral thing. Either you're drawn to a certain piece or you're not. Some people love landscapes, others favor abstracts (which I also love, by the way). For me, it's always been art with a particular subject that pulls me in time and again.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here's some more art from around our house. See if you can detect a theme. Don't worry, it's not a test. And if it were, it would be super easy.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt62boSSiCwWGq2IEz_1K_Ravgq0h9Z1LbDBxRC7lfFNfbTJkft8eej73XDjR9j3KN3OXAbGhl1UoxpSwQOxIe2I6NToIHUQCz8OgNincM0qIxh5_mGEKQESeLz1932fng-aTmCOnSGM/s1600/IMG_4785.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt62boSSiCwWGq2IEz_1K_Ravgq0h9Z1LbDBxRC7lfFNfbTJkft8eej73XDjR9j3KN3OXAbGhl1UoxpSwQOxIe2I6NToIHUQCz8OgNincM0qIxh5_mGEKQESeLz1932fng-aTmCOnSGM/s400/IMG_4785.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> This was one of the first pieces of original art my husband and I purchased many years ago.

I swear I'm not gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I keep picking artwork featuring women. At least they're not nudes.
