Valentine's

I found this at Happy Famous Artists. It was dated February 14. How come this seems fine on Valentine's Day, but has something offensive about it today?
Maybe it's because VD is for the individual, while today is for the group. And so, today it implies that this is the value I find important in a woman. While on February 14, it is about this one individual being gorgeous. Yet, isn't there something disturbing even about this appearing on Valentine's? The fact that what we celebrate is beauty?
Beauty. Can't live with it, but would have a hard time ignoring it either.

How To Join Art Blogs 4 U ....

The purpose of this blog is to provide a centralised List of artists who write about their art on their blogs. The layout of the site may change from time to time but the List itself will remain on the main page so will always be easily seen by visitors. I will be posting to the blog at regular intervals in order to maintain its 'visibility' and raise its profile, and artists who add their names are invited to send me a short description of their blog or their art work (e.g. their Art Bio) to include in these posts. These short 'bios will also be linked into the main list. Artists are also invited to send me the URL of an artwork that they would like published as one of Art Blogs 4 U's 'featured paintings'.

HOW TO JOIN - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

This list is open to anyone practising 2-dimensional fine art (i.e. drawings, paintings, wall hangings) who writes a blog about their work, but please no blogs about digital art or photography.

All you have to do is leave a comment to this post which includes your name exactly as you want it to appear in the list, e.g. Sarah Doe, or Sarah Doe's Art, or The Complete Doodler, etc.

Also please type out the URL to the blog you want listed (sorry, no websites will be accepted).

Please state which category you wish your art blog link to appear in (in addition to the main list) from the following - please choose ONE category only from:

Watercolour, Oils, Pastel/Other Dry Media, Acrylic, Mixed Media, Landscape, Abstract

Links will be added to the main list on a regular basis.

IMPORTANT .........

You must place a reciprocal link on your own blog to be listed ...... the continuing success of the site depends on every member displaying the link. If you cannot do this then your details will not be listed/will be removed.

Blogs will be added at the Blog Owner's discretion, no correspondence will be entered into.

Blogs will only be added once they have been in existence (and have had new posts added regularly) for at least 3 months. This is standard practice for Lists ... although many require 6 months or longer.

Blogs which cease to post on a regular basis will be removed from the list.

The Blog Owner reserves the right to remove the link to any blog that is not mainly about 2-dimensional art or which contains lewd, libelous or otherwise offensive material.
