MELENDEZ by MINNIEBEANISTE

Luis Melendez self portrait (1746-7), Louvre (Paris)
Get thee over to the marvellous world of Minniebeaniste's blog, to read the most wonderful post about an artist I had never heard of. And soak up the words - not just about him, wonderful as he is - but words about how looking at things can open your eyes to seemingly unattached issues...invaluable for a writer.
thanks Min!

The Marvellous World of Minniebeaniste

Why do I blog? Dunno, sometimes - but then delightful things happen, like being visited by people who bring something a wee bit magical to the day.
And thus it was with a visit from Minniebeaniste, who blogs HERE .
Please visit, but only if you will enjoy fabulously written posts, introductions to different places and people - including poet Pat Ingoldsby. Scroll down in the post linked above to find a poem mesmerisingly entitled Vaginas in the Vatican...unless you are a misogynist, of course, in which case you could try to transpose 'members' but it wouldnt have the same effect...
