Kime Buzzelli
I discovered an article about Buzzelli and her paintings in an old issue of Nylon I had lying around. In the article, they ask her a few questions, and I liked her response to this one:
Q: "What was the first thing you ever painted?"
A: "I remember painting lots of paperdolls. As far as a real painting, I used to try to duplicate Picasso women and Odilon Redon flower vases at eight years old."

Frida
Frida Kahlo — Self-portrait with Cropped Hair, 1940.
The top lyric translates: "Look if I loved you, it was for your hair. Now that you are bald, I don't love you anymore." She painted this after divorcing from her husband, the Mexican muralist, Rivera.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
At the Moulin Rouge, 1892
Salon at the Rue des Moulins, 1894
The Clownesse Cha-U-Kao at Moulin Rouge, 1895
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is my new favorite. I saw a bunch of his paintings today at the Art Institute of Chicago's art museum. He was from France, talented in not only painting, but also print-making and illustration. His paintings draw you back into another lifetime, one that seems so classy and almost magical.

I remember a framed print of this used to hang in my basement at one time. I've always liked it. Happy belated 4th of July!

The Mountain
This is an awesome album. I'm in love with Erika Wennerstrom's voice. It's so different, yet so lovely. "Be So Happy", "Out At Sea", and "The Mountain" are just a few good songs, but really the whole album is great.
