Beautiful. Makes me miss "mi lindo Peru" (also the name of my favorite Peruvian food restaurant in San Francisco)! Thank you for sharing.

Oh thank you, Lala! They are absolutely wonderful! I was intrigued by him when you first blogged about him - somehow one knows about the great European and American photographers of that period, but there are so many other fantastic artists that deserve to have similar popularity & recognition - so thanks again for introducing me to him!

What beautiful artwork. Books of art are such treasures. Not so long ago I found a most magnificent book...Bruno Zupan..."One Artist". As I am a junk gypsy, I always search for treasures and this book was such a treasure. It is even signed! It says, "to Dr. Omann...Sincerely B. Zupan"....Another book of art that stirs my soul is the artwork of the Bloomsbury Group. Maybe one day when life slows down, I will post some beautiful art also.

Thank you for such a beautiful and inspiring blog. Somehow, I stumbled upon your lovely place and visit often.

Because of your gifts of such beauty and inspiration, I would love to give you a gift tag. It was given to me by the Duchess at www.theduchessofearl.blogspot.com. If you would like to be a part of this blog gift tag, please visit my blog at www.asouthernsunset.blogspot.com for the game directions.

Blessings
