With the end of the 2015 calendar year, and 20 posts under my belt, I'll stop here for now. It's been fun digging into the details of a bunch of artists, some well-known, others not so much. It has also been fun to expound on their works, influences and their evolution as artists over their lifetimes.

| Alfred J Casson "White Village" (1938) |
My analyses carry no weight beyond that of just-another-observer. If you disagreed with me or found a comment annoying - that's great. (This one really pissed people off for a while here in Ottawa.)
That is what art is for - invoking opinions and debate about ideas, images, and perspectives. Warm thoughts and happy sighs are just part of the opinion/experience spectrum. I hope there was a little bit of all-of-the-above here for you.

| Jackson Pollack's "Lucifer" (1947) |
If a comment or two helped someone look at a piece a little bit differently, or introduced someone to a work or artist they didn't know before, that is reward enough.
