My Art Museum.

Remember how I had Goya's "Third of May" on my desktop? It's still there, but now it's been joined by a lot of other paintings, which switch every five seconds:

"The Philosopher" Rembrandt
"Still Life" Balthazar Alt
"View of Toledo" El Greco
"Dancers at the Bar" Degas
"Christina's World" Wyeth
"The Gulf Stream" Homer
"Las Meninas" Velazquez
"Sunday Morning" Hopper
"The Human Condition" Magritte
"Moulin de Gallette" Renior
"Gare St. Lazare" Monet
"The Flying Dutchman" Ryder
"Race Horses" Degas
"Ophelia" Millais
A landscape by Caspar Freiderich, the name of which escapes me
A picture of boats by Van Gogh, ditto
"Sunday Afternoon of the Island of la Grand Jatte" by Seurat


and, of course....

"The Kitchen Maid," Vermeer.

There are still some pictures I'm looking for.

Wonderful list. But the "The Kitchen Maid". When I was in art school many, many years ago my first assignment was to copy a master on a 6x8foot canvas. I picked that painting. It came out rather well I thought and then I attempted "The Love Letter" because I liked the floor so much. Needless to say it didn't come out as well. Thanks for the happy memory. I needed it this afternoon.

"The Kitchen Maid" is my favorite painting in the entire world. I have had the great good fortune to see it hanging in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and would drop everything on a moment's notice to fly over and do so again.
