Okay, I've been seeing people's avatars around Chez Tremblay and some of them I am quite curious to know what their significance is. I mean, I can usually tell the Brokeback Mountain ones very easily... or the personal "head shots" of our Tremblayan friends. But others I'm just like, "hey, what's that?"
So... please just take a second to... um... explain to us why you chose what you chose as your avatar -- and if it needs to be explained as to what it is, do that as well.
And here I go explaining mine...
To your left, you can see one of my all time favorite paintings,
Starry Night, by my most favorite painter, Vincent Van Gogh. Isn't it beautiful? I love just getting to look at it every time I post. I just get this rush of joy and this thrill of unfathomable beauty. It just takes my breath away.
I may actually start changing it weekly to a favorite work of art of mine -- because I have so many paintings that I am just so unbelievably in love with. My second favorite (and possibly tied for first favorite) painting of Van Gogh's is this wonderful painting that he did around the same time called
Olive Orchard and I think that will be the next one that I have as my avatar. So keep a lookout for my "artwork I love" of the week avatar. You can share in the flutter of my heart when my page loads and right next to my post is one of the greatest paintings to ever be composed!
This is
Olive Orchard if you are curious as to what avatar is in store for you next week:
Okay, now everyone else can tell me about
their avatars!
