Even by my elliptical standards that is one of my more obscure titles. However, regular readers will recognise the name of Donald Pittenger, the sole proprietor of the Art Contrarian site. I tend to save up my visits to his excellent blog because there is always such a mix of unexpected pleasures to be found there and scrolling through his site is rather like strolling through a real art gallery. There is nothing I can say that would improve on his always intelligent commentary so I will simply confine myself to showing you just some of the illustrations to the various posts to be found on his site today and I will leave you to go over and look for yourselves:

Now, there has to be something there that takes your fancy! Go on, pop over and take a look and also read his very knowledgeable commentary.
I asked for a Kindle for Christmas just so that I could read Don's e-book. Though I've now also bought the ebook of the first of the Master and Commander novels.

I was a prat on the Master & Commander books. Having bought and read the first, I then rushed out to buy another three or four and by the end of that lot I was, so to speak, suffering with indigestion!
As for e-book machines, if I travelled more often I think I would definitely invest but until then I'll stick with dead trees!

I have sorted out my Kindle after 3 weeks and actually have a book on it!
How exciting!
I'm up to page 3 of 647..... way to go!

Dare one ask, Ma'am, the name of the book . . . ?
