I subscribe to a newsletter called Brain Pickings (try not to think about it), which often features writers and other artists. It makes you feel like you're feeding your cultural, maybe even intellectual side, which is good because I don't do enough of that. Recently it featured a book called The River by an Italian artist called Alessandro Sanna. The paintings featured in the article were breathtaking, and the only reaction a reasonable person could have, the immediate reaction that I had was to order the book. I didn't even consider the option of not ordering it. My initial thought was that I would frame some of the gorgeous paintings for my apartment, but now that it has arrived, I cannot, would not, dare not do anything to this book except treasure it in its entirety. It is the happiest book I've ever seen. I dare you to look at it without smiling. Here is a sample...the link is below the painting. Beautiful.
