There are some pictures that I can just stare at for minutes or hours without ever getting tired of them... it's more of a presonal thing, I know, but these are some pictures that I find simply entrancing...

Le Jeune Martye, by Paul Delaroche, one of those limited number of paintings that have the honour of hanging in the Louvre in Paris... and was my puter desktop picture before I was introduced to...

Howls of Silence, by Louis Royo... this one is me... a friend found it and sent it to me... my jaw hit the floor, because he was so right... it's on my puter desktop, and likely will be for a long time...
Others by Royo:
The Neverending Sparkle
Secret 2
The Warm Winds Series: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Cheval Et Train... how's this one for thought-provoking? one of the contrasts that is ever foremost in my mind...



... this gallery has some of the most stunning artwork I've laid eyes on... I had the pleasure of meeting the artist as well... her subjects are mostly fantasy, mythical, and celtic, but there is a wide variety of evocative work here...






A few nudes that are striking in their poses:
Antonio Banderas
Modern Art
Chained Slave

Not nudes, but challenging views of the human form:
An Angel
Weaver
