I still wanted to say hi and see your offerings for Friday's 5 - and I"m so glad I did as the artwork you've shared is amazing!! I'm with you and with many pieces like this I could stare forever. I was blessed to visit the Vatican museum many years ago and there were frescos there that I literally sat down and just gazed at for a long time. The guard there thought I was pretty funny, but I didn't care. I love breathtaking beauty at the hands of artists like this. I completely understand the fascination with the hands too! <br />Blessings on the rest of your week dear Gal. xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-25620160167645079502016-07-04T10:45:52.453-07:002016-07-04T10:45:52.453-07:00Thank you for sharing with us your finds in Budape...Thank you for sharing with us your finds in Budapest a place I've never been to before.

I found myself focused on the light the artists created in the paintings...how my eyes were drawn to the man lugging the basket, the building on the canal, the virgin and child, and the girl in white.

The apple sorting reminds me of my childhood when we would get a big box of apples in the fall and sometimes laid them all out on newspaper to keep them for the winter. <br />The women's clothing in Do This in Memory of Me is so intricately painted.
