Things I love.

I love the Mona Lisa. The mystical background, her soft skin, and her long neck have always brought me a sense of wonder.

It's one of those pieces of 'great' art that actually do live up to their hype.

  1. Yes, I love it too. And when we saw it in Paris, I was shocked at how small a painting it was.

  2. It's amazing how such a tiny painting can capture us so completely!

    I will admit to liking the Louvre a *lot*. Being able to get so close to all the art in the galleries? Incredible.

  3. I've always thought it was a pretty good poker face. I really can't tell what she's thinking. Are you related to Freddie Mercury, BTW?

  4. Hello, Mr. Bananas! I like the poker face theory. She could have four aces and you'd never know.

    I am not related to the Divine Freddie. I did choose his last name for my nom-de-plume since he is one of my heroes and Muses. :)
