Add Art

Hat tip to MAKE blog, which is where I learned about an upcoming Firefox extension called AddArt.

It'll replace the ads on websites with art from a curated database. That'll make my internet-surfing a delight, for sure!

(Ooo, I've gotta see fine art more; just browsed some Renoir, and the SHEER beauty is just breath-taking! Now I've got a goal to see some Renoirs in person!)

The Garden in Montmartre, 1890, Renoir

I love to appreciate art! Renoir, Monet...magnificent! For my birthday last year, I received a card with a scene on it of a girl with a hat with a boy walking along a paved walk against the back drop of dreamy landscape including a green path, purple flowered trees, muted blue sky with pink and white clouds. Yes, there was a rainbow to make it complete. It was a copy of an oil by Jim Warren titled, "Nature's Little Helper." It was one of my very favorite things that I got for my Birthday. :)

Hi Sarebear--
You haven't been around lately, so I thought I'd drop by and make sure you are okay! And I was happy to find Renoir.

Thanks guys. Dinah, I saw your msg just before I walked out the door to go camping on Saturday through yesterday. I felt bad that you'd maybe worry over the weekend, but we had no time.

Thank you SO much for stopping by my blog; I'm tickled (like Elmo?).

I have been so paralyzed with fear about the new psychiatrist appointment, but I just got back awhile ago (it went Grrrr8!) and will post about it.

Hopefully that silverback-gorilla of fear will be off my back now and I can resume living. AND, I'll be taking notes as I read your chapters, and post them or email them to you! It'll be fun to do that interactive thingie, as well as be back into the Shrink Rap blog.

I've been . . . terrified, really, and I hate that that shut me down. It helps so much that people care and I find out that they hope(d) I was ok.

The Renoir here is just so soothing and beautiful; I think I might use this one in times of anxiety to picture myself in a beautiful, calm place; I'll put myself IN this garden at MontMartre, as Renoir saw it . . . I can just feel the calm wash over me like a gentle breeze of lightly scented flowers and dappled sunshine. Woohoo, I can feel it!
