Hay: Good looking
I thought for sure I’d found another excellent candidate for a “Weird Internet Sites” post when I stumbled across Hay in Art – “a collection of great works of hay” – while stalking Turner, but this three-year-old cyber-gallery by Alan Ritch of Santa Cruz, California, quite simply overwhelms any intent to ridicule with an astonishing range of lovely paintings and drawings (”currently 5,015 items in the database”) and a good dose of humour. Witness the entry on Bosch, subtitled Wain’s World. See the rest.

The most helpful and approachable computer-tech support in the world, Shana Rae (that’s her icon and address near the bottom of the menu), felt I didn’t have enough artists breathing down my neck looking for accommodations at Dali House and sent me a picture by Piranesi. I’d seen his work before, but it was a wonderful reunion.
