Auntie Nettie's Attic: Favorite Painting

Saturday, May 3, 2008

I'm posting this for no other reason than it is

one of my favorite paintings.

The Wanderer Above a Sea of Mist

(also known as Wanderer above the Sea of Fog)
c. 1818
By Caspar David Freidrich

Depending on my mood, it always has a different meaning for me.

I suspect that it will for you as well.

Auntie Nettie: "There can be only one," but one is enough! Auntie Nettie blogs in New York, from a small art studio surrounded by yarn, books, and craft projects in various states of completion. When she's not crafting or asleep (wishful thinking, she is chronically sleep-deprived), she's a fund-raiser/administrator for a unique music and arts organization, a former database guru for one of the country's premiere conservatories, a former music librarian, a free-lance editor/writer, and a minuscule business-owner, or she's off running around NYC trying to see friends, on the train or some other mass transit, travelling all over the country to see her extended network of friends and family, OR just going crazy in general.
