Arthur Meehan

Photography Appreciation

While surfing the internet, I came across a photo of Danish fashion model Malene Knudsen staring straight at the camera wearing only a sheer top and panties. The image is incredibly sexy that I needed to know more about the photographer.

Arthur Meehan is an American photographer best known for his images of flowers and nude women. What makes his photographs a lot more like paintings is that he uses film and hand prints.

You can see more of his work HERE.

Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me

Music Appreciation

Crash Into Me, by the Dave Matthews Band (DMB), was released on December 3, 1996. Inspired by his wife, Ashley Harper, the song was written by Dave Matthews.

"Touch your lips just so I know, In your eyes, love, it glows so, I'm bare-boned and crazy for you, When you come crash, Into me, baby, And I come into you..." Dave Matthews explained on VH1 Storytellers that the song is about "the worship of women."

Museum of Fine Arts Houston

While my parents spent the day shopping at the Houston Galleria, I visited the Museum of Fine Arts (MFAH).

While there, I learned about Buncheong, traditional Korean stoneware, Chaturanga, an Indian strategy game board, and viewed a wonderful collection of Pre-Columbian gold from Houston philanthropist Alfred C. Glassell, Jr.

I also viewed a great exhibit by photojournalist Roman Vishniac who captured Jewish refugees in Poland before the start of World War II, which is reminiscent to today's Syrian refugees.

At the museum, there were paintings by Camille Pissarro, Eugene Louis Boudin, William Adolphe Bouguereau, Winslow Homer, Gilbert Stuart, Frederic S. Remington, Edward Hopper, Leon Kroll, and Georgia O'Keefe.

Dylan Lisle

Art Appreciation

If you follow my blog, you'd probably recognize my appreciation for paintings of a woman's nude back.

There is one particular painting that I recently came across while surfing one of my favorite art blogs, Art Odyssey. The name of the painting is Chorus and it's by figurative painter, Dylan Lisle.

Chorus features a woman in black panties exposing her bare back. In the background is a painting of a crumbled red fabric. The crumbled red fabric and white fabric frames to perfection the smooth curves of the woman's back.

Lisle, who is known for his female nudes, has many wonderful paintings on his blog, http://dylanlisle.blogspot.com/.

When Harry Met Sally...

Film Appreciation

When Harry Met Sally... is perhaps my all time favorite Rob Reiner movie.

Released on July 14, 1989, the romantic comedy starred Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as well as Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby. Harry Connick, Jr. provided the wonderful soundtrack, which is a must on my holiday music playlist.

Of course, the most memorable part of the movie is the restaurant orgasm scene where Sally proves that woman can fake an orgasm.
