    Being a Cubs fan, you are probably experiencing a bit more pain since you came so very close in the last couple of years! While with being a Leaf fan, we get so excited just seeing our guys make the playoffs!!

    Nice photo of the painting.

    Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog.

    I know the work but not the artist. Must have been ground breaking in its day.
    This style of art was in fact used by Volkswagen to promote their Citi Golf a few years ago

    My goodness Neva he was way ahead of his time don't you think. Of course the Dutch are in a class of their own when it comes to art and design. I like it a lot.

    I believe I've seen his work before. Very interesting person according to Wikipedia.

    I had a art teacher who told us you really couldn't appreciate this kind of work until you had view dozens of them -- and then he proceeded to show us dozens. It was interesting. But, I can't say that I was anymore excited about it.

    Wonderful idea for you M post. I imagine you don't get one bit tired of seeing it, either.

    Thanks for visiting my ABC Wednesday post!

    I can't really say I'm a big fan of his work. If I was sat at your desk I'd be more interested in the reflections on the wall from the leaves. Reflections fascinate me.

    I must say if this was across from my desk I would probally get nothing done. I would stare at it and wonder why he put the colors where he did !

    Kind of neat using only the primary colors.

    Hello Neva. I saw your Icon pic in comments in a blog. And seeing your Black Lab and your Chocolate Lab ~ I had to come over. :-) Our son and family have 2 Black Labs and we simply "love them to pieces."

    This reminds me of a dress I had for my doll in the 60's.
    From Emma Peel!
    LOL!

    Do you like his work? For me it is not worth that much money.

    Well, Dick , I like this one since I've looked at it long enough! Not sure if I could do a whole room since it is all somewhat similar!!!
    I like the reflections off of it as well, Mike.
    Us Cubs fans can tolerate just about anything but I am not sure I would want a dress out of this!! Thanks for all your nice comments!

    I am not familiar with Mondrian and now I know. Don't feel bad about the Cubs, the SF Giants are no better off.

    I am naive to painting arts. Thanks for sharing the link with us. Apology on the late visit.
