Great Art

Yesterday I had to go to Damariscotta and in the book store found a new book by Andrew Wyeth called Looking Out , Looking In. Most of the paintings in the book I had never seen. The Farnsworth Museum has 1000 of his paintings and drawings. It is astounding how much work he produced. When I got home I looked the book  up on amazon to check prices and seeing other interesting books I ended up on a site that had hundreds of images of many artists, living and dead. I was very humbled and inspired by their works. It is amazing how many great artists there are that I don't know anything about. I tried taking photos  of some of the paintings with my camera shooting at the computer. To my amazement many came out pretty good. To be living at a time when anything we want to know can be found on the computer is incredible.
Below are some of the painting images I took from the computer. Four of the paintings are mine. which three are they? They are easy to pick out.
