And there were shepards abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night and lo the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shown round about them and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people......
yet another part of the wonderful Christmas story.
The Shepards by Carravagio.
Since it is that time of the year. I thought I would post some classical paintings of the Nativity.
The one above is by Lippi. Adoration from just about the whole world.
We will go on to the following pages . I just did not feel like fooling around with Fliker.
I hope you enjoy these. The birth of Jesus did help create quite a lot of beautiful art work.

Hi all, I haven't been to good about posting anything, I am running around trying to catch up with all my friends. Sometimes I think that having too many friends isn't a good thing. I really feel that I have to visit everyone every day and boy that is a real chore. Then I think friendship is really something that has to be worked at. You can't just expect them to be there all the time if you haven't been around also.
I have seen a few of my friends have alot of trouble with crazy people on Yahoo 360. I have noticed that when you try and go public they start rolling in like a tidel wave. To me it is stick to your friends, and friends of friends and we all hope we have good taste.
My blog is about making friends in wonderful places, but if you really want them to be friends you can only have so many and you have to be choosey. To stay in touch , as I have found out, is hard. You can only spread yourself so thin.
If I haven't been around lately, sorry, I will be there I promise.
Have a great Weekend, ya'all.

For a little fine art this Sunday I have chosen on of my favorite American artistJames Abbott McNeill Whistler.
He is mostly remembered for his painting that everyone calls "Whistler's Mother" which in reality is entitled "Arrangement in Grey and Black..Protrait of the Painter's Mother".
He was a very prolific painter as well as a decorative artist. As can be seen in the room panels he created.
The link to the Web Museum will give you a great opportunity to see a great many of his works but today I would like to feature my favorite work of his. Another one of my favorites from the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
A SYMPHONY IN WHITE NO. 1, THE WHITE GIRL
I find the most wonderful thing about this painting is how well he has done the white . The brush strokes and the many colors that go into making up the color of the dress and drapery are magnificiant. To see the painting in person is mind blowing as it is large and quite over powering.
Be sure to go to the Web Museum site and see the rest of his work. It is just as wonderful as this.
