her biggest threat is tripping you while she's sleeping.

BTW - I saw in another thread that you must be an old smoker that still has "the dream" that many of us old smokers have - that of starting again. I still have it 40 years later myself.

I bought some old lithographs of his paintings a few years ago. Love them!

Great compositions. I don't recall much of him from art history classes, but I'm glad the Internet re-introduced me

What lithos did you buy?

Pan whistling to a blackbird
Centaurs
Pan among the reeds (the 1858 rendition, which I liked better than the 1859 one)
Mermaids at play

I like his Self Portrait with Death playing a fiddle, but I didn't buy it. A little too depressing at my age.

if mostly by content. I tend to collect images from online, though I'd love to have some of those as framed lithos.

This is one of my favorites, mostly because it's kind of humorous, and a topic that could happen in such a fantasy-world

And one either of Pan or another satyr, titled "Idylle"
