In my searches for stunning photo images I keep coming back to boats. I haven’t figured out yet what exactly there is about the boats on the water that intrigue me so powerfully. It really doesn’t matter. On a few memorable occasions, though, a boat took me to some places that I would have never [...]

As luck would have it I managed to stumble upon a local artist (from London, Ontario, Canada) who is able to take any photograph you have and in just a few short days, turns it into a one of a king art picture that you can have hanging on your wall. When I saw the work he had done, I was amazed, and it wasn’t long before I had all my friends drawn in charcoal pencil. Now as a favor to those out there looking for a practical way to have your hand drawn portrait made I will share the link to Jaret’s website. So enjoy, all the best.

Ernest Dimnet once said, “Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.” I couldn’t agree more. Living in, working in or just walking often by the building that’s a piece of art must surely have an elevating effect on those who appreciate aesthetics.

Image via Wikipedia Though some may have seen these before, I think this collection is an important piece of history and art. Two of my favorite subjects. And for those of you who have not seen these before- prepare to be fascinated. Just keep in mind that they were taken a CENTURY ago! To me, [...]

Image by ??ln? via Flickr The father of “neuroaesthetics” (a phrase he coined), Semir Zeki is a scientist who studies how the brain is affected by our perception of art. In 2007 he was granted 1 million pounds (approx. $1,358,331.95 USD) to explore the ways in which art and beauty are functions of the physiology [...]
