Ramdom Art Attack V
Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters: united with her, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of their marvels.
Francisco José de Goya

Nice quote. I like. Very dreamy for me at 4 am in the office.
Me too. Very hopeful as I wait at 4am for you to come home from the offic.
Love the quote - but then, love Goya.
Most of his stuff is a little on the depressing edge, but that's what you get for growing up with Franco's Spain... If you get the chance, his images of the atrocities are incredible.
But on to happy thoughts, good to see you're still on the blogging trail :-)
You guys need to see Pan's Labyrinth if you haven't already--it mixes some incredible depictions of Franco's Spain with fantastical, very 'fractured' fairytale elements. Gorgeous but NOT for kids! (Becky H)
I've been wanting to see it for months... but it's not in South Africa yet :-(
