Poetry in Art: I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold by Charles Demuth
Charles Demuth’s fabulous painting, I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold, was inspired by his friend William Carlos Williams’ poem, The Great Figure. The artwork is full of references to the poem and poet.

It’s always nice to see artists inspiring other artists, especially when they work in different mediums.

Young Lady in 1866
I adore this painting; in fact, it is my favourite by Manet. A beautifully framed copy hangs in my dining room.
Why post it today?
The cold, the cold!
It’s far below zero–the chilliest temperature of the season. Since this painting makes me feel happy, content, and warm, I thought you might enjoy it, too.

The Kiss
I think that Valentine’s Day is pretty useless. However, yesterday was a fabulous Seeing-my-husband-for-the-first-time-in-three-weeks Day!
