solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book. read any book but especially those that have been resting on the bookshelf for a long time, waiting to be read.
i continue to delve into american visions, the epic history of art in america, by robert hughes. currently i am reading about the puritan influence on art in the early beginnings of english settlements in the new world. one fact that makes sense: as art historians have looked back, they have thought puritan art was stark, without embellishment. what they were looking at, with so much time passed, was that the paint used to brightly color and the decorations in paint had been lost!
what are you reading? share your book with the whimsey project.
