Inspiration

This is it. This is the reason why I wanted to start a blog. A beautiful painting that I have seen for many months. But let me give you some background first........

As many of you may know, I attend Cal State Northridge and am in the process of completing my last and final semester of school for my Bachelor's degree (yes!). Since I have been going to CSUN since 2008, I have passed this painting at the library. But the painting was not just in the main lobby, it happened to be located in the........BASEMENT!

Every time I walked downstairs to visit the "Teachers Curriculum Center" (a place I have become VERY familiar with), I would see this HUGE painting right outside the entrance. It has always intrigued and haunted me. Who did this painting? Why is it in the basement of the library? Is it worth anything? The painters name is listed at the bottom, and of course, I forgot to include this in my blog. But since this is my first post, I'm sure I'll learn from my mistakes next time.

Overall, this painting reminds me that art can be very powerful. It can make a person stop in their tracks, stare and think. With our world so busy today, I like the fact that there are some things in life that I am allowed to take my time with.

Let me know some of your favorite paintings and where you saw them. It just may inspire you to go out and buy an expensive phone just so you can blog about it, like I did! :)
