"Painting is silent poetry..."

I don't pretend that I am an art connoisseur, but I do really appreciate a great work of art. I love to go to museums, look at art and see the beautiful pieces artist have produced. Some of my favorite artist are Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh and my favorite type of art is impressionism, though I like many others. Since I have been home, I haven't been able to visit a great art museum, because well, there aren't any. So instead of depriving myself of beautiful artwork here are just some of my favorite pieces of art. If I can't go to a museum, I might as well look online. I hope you like these pieces of art as much as I do. Enjoy!
