St. Anne Beaupre Murals for Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all! I was stunned at how breathtaking these elaborate murals are by Frederic Doyon in the Basilica of St. Anne Beaupre in Quebec, Canada — perfect for sharing during this holiday season. Although, they have been removed from this post and are visible on Dan Beards’ Flickr stream.
The Kupa in Krakow
These beautiful ornamental murals can be found adorning the The Kupa Synagogue in Krakow, Poland. They are highly ornate and display great graphic design as well as wonderful use of trompe l’oeil with faux painted drapes and columns. I love all the colors that were used. View a slide show of these photos on Samuel Gruber’s Jewish Art & Monuments blog and his pictures can be found on his Picassa site. All photo credits by Samuel D. Gruber.
Hello world!
Welcome! This is my first post. I started this blog to show that Art is Everywhere. Sometimes we see it. Sometimes we don’t but when we do, it can be in the most mundane places. I have always been fascinated by the process of art and how artists get their inspiration. Through fairly frequent postings, I hope to show some examples of artistic inspiration, as I rely on this for my work and creative living.
