The last few days I have been participating in a "game" on Facebook that has the intention of filling Facebook with art. If you "like" someones chosen image, you get a mission of finding an artwork of an artist and post it on your wall. And since you mention the person who gave you the artist, the illustration also appears on his/her wall. Is it a silly game? Perhaps, but now my wall has a fine gallery of female artist. You also get a chance to find new artists and art works, both my assignments (so far) where of artists I did not  know much of. The contemporary Berlinde de Bruyckere (b. 1964), an artist from Belgium, and the Swedish artist Anna Palm de Rosa (1859-1924) who made the above watercolor called Speed ticket at Bois de Boulonge. And it sure is a break from the usual Facebook entries, selfies and food (that I also contribute to). So play the game, explore the art world and have fun!
