in the garden with gustav

the more things change...



a painter
in a garden
with a cat or two
or more
wearing a flowing
robe
every day.












Paradise.


Two books i use in the classroom:

Silver, Gold, and Precious Stones, "Adventures in Art" series


Klimt and His Cat, Berenice Capatti and Shannon White, with lush artwork by Octavia Monaco


Other gorgeous resources for mature audiences, i should probably note, are:
the beautiful Flash site, iklimt.com and in my library: Gustav Klimt, 22 Masterworks by Jane Kallir.



If you have never stood before a real Klimt before, you must.


Homage to Klimt
from the art room,
kid-visions of "cat parties."
Vielen Dank, Gustav.
