Alphabet Game

[d's girl]

First Category: Things to do with the outdoors.

First person posts a word that begins with "A", next person posts a word that begins with "B" & so on.

The person who posts the "Z" word comes up with a new category & begins it with a "A" word.

TWIST THROWN IN ON 9/9/10: We're on a category that begins w/an "A" - how about we start choosing categories alphabetically? So the next person who posts the "Z" answer chooses a new category that begins w/"B". '-)

Seurat, George ( 1859- 1891)

Sorry about the double 'Q'-- it must've taken me so long to find the piece I was looking for to copy that you came in behind me. ;-p

Tom Thomson, one of The Group of Seven, Canadian landscape artists from the early 1900's. They have an interesting history. I studied them when I was doing a project in Canada & used several pieces of their work.

"U" - Uccello, Paolo ( 1397-1475) Uccello means bird in italian.

I'll let someone get the next one and post a pretty picture for "V"
maybe some yellow sunflowers, or a Starry night.

Oh, now I see this - you are thinking of Yeats' brother Jack? I only thought right away of mine because I have one of his prints.
