I don’t know much about art. Basically I know what I like and what I don’t like, and that’s about it. Dogs Playing Poker–Love! Monet’s water lilies–meh, not so much.
This guy, however, blows all poker-playing dogs out of the water. James Lahey is a Canadian artist whose series of Ocean paintings make me a-quiver. I would trade my first born for an original piece in this series. Don’t judge. Artwork brings you pleasure and appreciates with time. Children cause you grief and cost you money over time. No comparison!
Some eye candy for your peepers:
