i guess there is a bluesky art challenge about paintings that have made an impact or in some way affected you - post 20, 1/day

i'm gonna kick this up a notch for Mastodon, anyone who pays attention to my feed (thank you!) and for myself.

i used art as a reason to start traveling, and i went to some major museums.

so i will be posting a museum i have visited, with a painting or artwork i saw there and loved for some reason.

i'm gonna start with a classic - The Louvre
