Art


The first thing that caught my eye on the online art gallery was "Lazy Good Nature" by Arthur Fitzwilliam. This portrait contains a dog and small woodland critters relaxing on the ground.

I understand this piece to connect with America in the sense that sometimes we need to just simply "chill." Too often life gets caught up in a hectic mess that leads to the necessity of being lazy and laying around. We see the dog in the picture with a sort of "screw this" demeanor. It's this relaxed look that makes me reflect on Americans.

    nice post, i really enjoy the lackadaisical mood this picture portrays. i think a lot of times this could be in our dreams too...i mean, let's be realistic, who has time to lay down in the forest with little chicks kissing at our feet.

    i totally agree with you...interesting choice.

    good post (:
