iPad Wine Lists in Restaurants Now!

Restaurant Wine Lists ....... on an iPad!

Wine geek meets techno geek. Becomes Techno-wino-geek. Yeah, that's me.

Art





















The above image is at The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. It's also quite a large painting, and another one of my favorites. It is called 'The Favorite of the Emir' by artist Jean Joseph Benjamin Constant. Such a great painting.

Both of these are examples of art that are more 'modern'. Don't get me wrong, I like Van Gogh, and Picasso and a few others, but Rothko not so much, nor Pollock - though I can appreciate what they have created and can see what they were going for. Just not personal favorites of mine.




















This is a painting I saw while at The Yale University Art Gallery recently. It's by an artist named Edwin Austin Abbey. So brooding. Eerie. Electric. Devious. Absorbing. Just so freaking cool. LOVE this painting. It is quite large, too.
