My master plan to get Danny to use her cell phone is working. The only problem is that most of them have advertisements and she keeps trying to buy stuff.

With this particular attempt she was following the colored balloons (which you can pop if you touch them) and then saw her colored toy and went with it.

What did Leonardo da Vinci Look like?

Image
Leonardo da Vinci was born in a town called Vinci in 1452. He left behind thousands of pages of journals and hundreds if not thousands of works of art. He was obsessed with mirrors and painted more portraits than anything else (that we know of) so it's been sort of a mystery as to what he really looked like. Why aren't there more, if any, obvious portraits of himself?




Almost every artist, especially painters, and even more so - painters who paint portraits paint themselves a lot. If you have the urge to start painting, and there is no one around - you are always there. I know personally that I have more pictures of myself than anything else. Why? Cause i'm there, all the time.

I would imagine that Leonardo painted himself, a lot. I would go so far as to say he was his own greatest subject. He was obsessed with mirrors, he painted a lot, he wasn't always around a lot of people, and getting people to stay still for long amounts of time is very difficult. When you are loo…

Herbivore | Omnivore | Carnivore

Image
I've been thinking about how each animal seems to have it's "ivore" - opposite. Or a herbivore/ carnivore opposite. Almost as if each type of animal divided into two different types and with each comes almost universal characteristics not just shared between the two similar species but all of the herbivores/ carnivores and even more interestingly- omnivores.

This made me think of humanities place within this potential contrast.

For example a Panda bear exclusively eats bamboo (Herbivore) and a Polar Bear exclusively eats Meat - they can probably eat some vegetables (saw them eating carrots in a zoo) as well but their natural diet is almost all meat. A Panda could also probably eat some meat but the idea is they are definitely more one or the other. Another dividing factors isn't just "will eat meat" but will actually hunt or kill an animal to get it. There are a lot of animals that could or would eat meat if it was in front of them but wouldn't eve…

Salvator Mundi (The Savior of the world) by Leonardo da Vinci?

Image
(The "Savior of the World" that I am referring to in this post was not the painting being considered to be by Leonardo.  It was one of his apprentices. Click on the image above to go to the blog that is about the correct painting.


Its been announced that a new Leonardo da Vinci painting has been "verified" to be authentic. A long lost Leonardo (link)

It is going to be exhibited at London's National Gallery in November and auctioned off. It has been estimated to sell for 100-200 MILLION dollars. There is still some controversy if it really is a Leonardo da Vinci painting.

 Interestingly I have a picture of Salvado Mundi in my book. I had compared it to the Shroud of Turin & the vitruvian man: both of which I think were created by Leonardo himself. I think he purposely painted the Salvado Mundi as further proof that he also created the Shroud of Turin.

They say that great artists "use lies to tell the truth."  I think the Salvator Mundi was painted …
